I had a rhinoplasty with rib graft to the dorsum and the tip. I would like to have the grafts removed as my nose looks unnatural and am wondering if removing the grafts will restore my nose to the way it looked pre-surgery.

Answer: Nose never returns exactly to the way it looked before surgery Implant surgery, be it in noses or breasts, is completely different the your Back and Forward Internet Explorer button on you PC screen. You CANNOT go back to exactly the same look, if you change your mind and remove the grafts/implants. This especially goes in cases where the nose was modified in other ways in addition to the graft placement. If the only procedure was a simple graft placement, you post-graft removal appearance would depend on the amount of time the graft was in place, the creation and thickness of scar tissue around it and the thinning of the skin over the graft. If you really hate it proceed with caution and make sure your surgeon understands your concerns.
