What is the absorption rate for rib graft rhinoplasty?

Question

I was told rib cartilage rhinoplasty might have 80% absorption rate. Would like to know the opinions from experts here.

Bora Ok, MD · Answer

Hi, greetings from Istanbul, Turkey. That statement is not entirely accurate. While there can be challenges with rib cartilage like distortion or warping, significant resorption isn't a common occurrence. Rib cartilage grafts remain a trusted and effective method for reconstructing the nose, providing support, and creating definition. An in-person consultation would yield more detailed suggestions specific to your case. Hope this helps!

Hello Yes but first I will want to see the patient photos and after give a decision what can I change on the nose

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

A rhinoplasty specialist will be able to comprehensively address the issues you have with your nose. DCF (Diced cartilage fascia) provides permanent results without the risk of warping or resorption of en bloc rib cartilage, and with a much lower rate of migration, infection, or extrusion than synthetic grafts. With a rhinoplasty surgeon experienced in this technique, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia is a consistent, reliable, long-lasting technique for creating dorsal augmentation with excellent results. Results are very surgeon dependent, so choosing the right surgeon is important. Consult with 2-3 of these surgeons in person and determine your comfort level with their approach, demeanor, and before and after results. Good luck @asianrhinoplasty @drdonyoo

A bone graft would have a much  higher incidence of absorption than cartilage would. You might want to find surgeon who dies diced cartilage for the graft,
