teeteetee Posted April 12, 2017 Posted April 12, 2017 Hi everyone, I was wondering whether or not a successful nose reoperation would last a lifetime, especially now that implants are safer and more durable. What is the most common type of material used for the tip during a revision rhino? The surgeon used septal cartilage for my primary and didn't use any ear cartilage. My results are noticeable but natural but I'm considering an extension because I want my top lip area to be pulled outwards, like in this picture: Does anyone have any revision stories to share? On another note, will an operated nose be affected or swollen in any way during pregnancy? Thank you!
brokennose5000 Posted April 14, 2017 Posted April 14, 2017 Hey I didn't have a revision exactly, but I had, had a non-cosmetic septoplasty many years ago and didn't have any septal cartilage left for my rhinoplasty. So my doctor use my ear cartilage instead. I'm at 3 weeks now and so far it's looking good! I would advice against using rib cartilage. I've read that it can warp over time.
