What are dermis grafts and how long do they last?

Dear
Lycee123,

Soft
tissue and bony depressions of the nose may be corrected with surgical
insertion of grafts, such as a dermal graft, which is a piece of skin with the
superficial parts removed and the undercarpet component, or dermis, inserted
into the defect, whereupon it picks up a blood supply and can usually provide a
nice long-term improvement. Other
options for correcting the depression include cartilage grafts and soft tissue fillers. The advantage of the soft tissue fillers is
that there is no additional donor site defect, pain or discomfort. Some soft tissue fillers can provide a
permanent correction of the nasal depression.

I
have been performing cosmetic rhinoplasties for over 20 years, having trained
in plastic surgery and ear/nose/throat-head/neck oncology. It is one of the important areas of my
aesthetic practice. I have also been
performing soft tissue injections in the nose for a decade and this can be a
good long-term, if not permanent, solution to a nasal depression.

For
more information, please review the link below.

I
hope this information has been of some assistance and best of luck.

Sincerely,
