Can I remove the rib graft used from my first rhinoplasty in a revision? (Photo)

It's always possible to remove the rib graft but the question is whether you would want to / if it's a good idea. I would check with your surgeon, and if s/he is not able to give you a decent answer, then get your op note and bring it to someone else who can further guide you.

If your nasal skin is densely adherent to the underlying rib grafts, revision rhinoplasty may be more challenging than usual. The best way to answer your question would be to consult with a reputable rhinoplasty specialist for an examination and determination of how you might best reach your goals. Wishing you luck moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Revisions after rhinoplasty, including the removal of rib grafts, are possible procedures. However, the feasibility of the revision and the specific techniques involved would depend on your individual case and the experience of the surgeon.

It’s crucial to consult with a board-certified surgeon with a good eye who specializes in revision rhinoplasty for the best outcome.

Best of luck !
