Best Grafting Material to restore Radix Height?

April 20, 2017
Asked By:RevisionSeeker23

My surgeon hacked off my Radix without my consent. I am interested in finding ways to augment the Radix, permanently. Is it best to use Split calvarium bone, or rib cartilage? Would cartilage (ear, rib, septum) provide longevity or would it slowly dissipate and disappear? I want fascia (containing collagen) used as a blanket cover to hide graft visibility. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
