Using cartilage grafts for patients with thin skin

I recently had a question during a consult from a patient seeking a revision rhinoplasty after having surgery with another doctor.  They were concerned that their cartilage graft was showing through their skin.  This can be an issue if the graft can sometimes be removed and bruised during revision surgery.  Temporalis fascia will be used to wrap around the graft as camouflage and the graft is replaced.
