Asked By:canuckgirl810 in Hamilton, ON

Previous op's were closed. New MD does open procedures. Plan to use cartilage from the ear and fascia from the scalp to add some cushioning to my nose. MD has quoted me a 10% risk of skin necrosis. This seems high,and yet he seemed to agree that will all my deformities, revision was a good idea. How common is skin necrosis in revision patient's with very thin skin and can the risk really be that high? Thanks!
