Will the rib graft in nose die if I remove the plate and screw from double jaw surgery? (Photo)

Asked By:chikane in Tambon Nong Chaeng, Chang Wat Phetchabun, Thailand

Hello, i am planning to remove plates and screws from my face ( i hade double jaw surgery 9months ago) But i also underwent rhinoplasty with rib graft in my nose. Unfortunately, the graft had some necrosis and some of them are not survived. So the doctor plans to do the nose revision for me again within 6 month. However, as i previously had double jaw surgery and want to remove the plates and screws I wonder if the removing of these tools will affect the remaining rib graft in my nose?
