Visible Grafts After Revision Rhinoplasty

March 16, 2010
Asked By:whonose in Ukiah, CA

I am two weeks post revision rhinplasty and the surgeon placed two grafts either side of my nose (just above nostrils) to stop nose looking pinched. One was a catilage graft from septum and the other soft tissue. I can now after two weeks see both grafts quite visibly and I was wondering whether in time they will go down to the point where I will hardly notice them? Will they get softer as at the moment they are quite hard? Is this just swelling? Or will they always show? Thank you for your help.
