I have had doctors who recommend it so that my nose doesn't fall or create problems in the future, and others who say they won't use it. Will I have long term effects if they don't use graphs and/or a bridge? Thank you!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. I think rhinoplasty is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. Whether to use grafts or not is totally dependent on your individual anatomy. That is the beauty of doing noses, no two are the same. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate their on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Grafts with rhinoplasty?? It is impossible to tell you what you need without photos and what is needed for YOUR NOSE. You need a consultation with a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon. Look for natural results.

Answer: Grafts in rhinoplasty You can't lump all grafts together. They are used for a variety of purposes in rhinoplasty. It depends on what your nose looks like, whether you've had surgery before, etc. I don't know what you by "need a bridge". Do you mean grafts on the bridge? When you have a rhinoplasty, you don't choose whether you want grafts or not. Leave it up to the surgeon. That's like telling an artist what brush to use. I know this sounds arrogant, but rhinoplasty is incredibly complex and difficult. It takes many years to master. You should explain to your surgeon exactly what you want to accomplish with rhinoplasty, then let him/her decide how to do the surgery.
