If you use your own tissue to augment your nose, will it be reabsorbed or will it fade?

11/06/2013 by Dr. Becker

Question:

When your own tissue is used to augment your nose during rhinoplasty, is there a chance that this would be reabsorbed by the body over time and the augmentation would fade?

Answer:

Generally not. In my practice of over 15 years, I am personally aware of only 2 cases in thousands in which the patients own cartilage did resorb. Both of these were revision rhinoplasties. So, although there is a very small chance based on my experience, I would not expect any significant resorption over time.

REVIEWS

"Dr. Daniel Becker is the sweetest most caring person. It’s almost a year since I had a really bad nose bleeds and he was there for us, came to hospital in the snow on a Sunday just to fix me. He is so very special and always there when you need him. Love him!!!"
