Revision Rhino Rib Graft - Warped? (photo)

June 21, 2013

revision to former rhino. reputable dr advised we do a rib graft to build up the dorsum a bit and sidwall & revise the tip. was supposed to maintain slight slope. 5 wks post opp, major swelling subsided. curves to one side & is harsh looking on left sidewall on one side - like cartilage is visible. on right, there's a visible bump at the top,other side doesn't have that. will I have to wait a year & revise to look normal again? Is this considered warped graft & will it cont to warp?
