Hi Arvin, If no other changes were made to your nose during the procedure, then removing the rib graft should restore your nose to it's previous appearance. In many instances, the graft causes scar tissue to form around it's pocket so that after the graft is removed there may...
Trauma to the nasal bridge can cause a nasal hump even without a fracture. There is always the possibility of a bony fracture however. If the nasal bridge is broken, the deformity will be even more prominent after the swelling is gone. The other option would be that the nasal cartilages would ...
If your nostrils are "notched" after rhinoplasty Surgery, this usually means that there is an upward retraction of your nostril margin. I have had wonderful success improving alar retraction using Silikon-1000 as an Injectable Filler. If any of my colleagues wish to learn more about my...
