Is there a way to do a costal cartilage graft without my breasts being visible, or touched, during the procedure?

SarahSmith96
I apologize if this is an odd question, but I'm very concerned about my modesty during a Costal Cartilage Graft for a rhinoplasty. It looks like the surgeon will need to expose my breasts during this procedure if they need to harvest cartilage from my ribs for my rhinoplasty. Is there a way to do a costal cartilage graft without my breasts being visible, or touched, during the procedure? Is it possible to wear some sort of bra, and the surgeon choose a lower rib? Any help would be appreciated!
