Trimming a long graft - can this be done without a full revision? (Photo)

June 12, 2025
Asked By:kokopup

I had a revision rhinoplasty overseas last year and the collumellar strut is too long and presses into my lips when I smile or laugh and it causes discomfort and an ugly crease beneath my nose. Can the graft be shortened without a full revision?
