Ear cartilage resorption rates in rhinoplasty used for radix/upper bridge augmentation?

October 6, 2020
Asked By:waweewawu in San Francisco, CA

What is the resorption rate of ear cartilage when used for radix/upper bridge augmentation over time? I'm talking about 20-30 years in the future. Will the graft last a lifetime? Have there been studies on this?
