Ear graft/cartridge for rhinoplasty? Is that normal?

March 31, 2016
Asked By:gnicholas in Denver, CO

Hi guys, my doc said that he will have to take some cartridge behind my hear for my rhinoplasty revision. Been hearing that this hurts more than the actual nose and can leave the ear looking odd ans scared? I'm starting to worry about this now even though my doc made it seem like no big deal? Would someone mind explaining what I should expect? Will my ear go back to normal? Is it that noticable in the first place? How long does it heal?
