Years ago, I had a columella strut graft (made from cadaver cartilage) placed in the tip of my nose in order to increase projection. Recently, I wiped the side of my mouth with the back of my hand, and in doing so, I felt the graft shift for a moment before settling back into place. Is it common for this type of graft to move? Is it possible that the graft has permanently shifted? blue=before pics
I can not see anything wrong from your pictures. Anything is possible but from what you say, it is all in place and looks the same. If that is the case, I would not worry about it. If it still concerns you, visit a local plastic surgeon for an in person exam and consult.
Nose grafts, especially columellar struts can be fixed or mobile from the beginning depending on what you are looking for. Over time the nose can change or after a blow or something similar maneuver, if you notice that your nose loses support, the columella is deformed or other changes it could be explained whit a graft displacement or fracture; If there are aesthetic changes that bother you, it is better to consult with your surgeon.
