Answer: Revision rhinoplasty candidate In our practice, we prefer to use patient's car own cartilage harvested from the nasal septum. Only occasionally do have to use cartilage from the ear. Important to determine how much cartilage left on the inside of her nose for potential grafting purposes with a revision rhinoplasty.
