Stem Cells / Regenerative Medicine for Revision Rhinoplasty Possible?

Question

As I am still searching for a solution for revisioning my completely unvoluntary nose surgery, I am wondering if there might be possibilities to work with a kind of stem cell therapy for growing the originally shape back? Maybe by injecting? Ok, this might sound very unrealistic, but you never know... Maybe the future is now some day...

This is not available at this time.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.	Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
