Can the Skin on my Nose Stretch To Withhold a Revision To Lengthen Nose?

August 18, 2011
Asked By:NYHOPE in New York, NY

My nose was made so short and I really dislike it. I want my nose lengthened and want my non bulbous nose back. My doctor will use rib cartilage and well as a graft. The skin on my nose has contracted due to my nose being so short now. will he be able to stretch by nose enough to get my length back?
