Rhinoplasty in 2015 & cartilage feels like it's shifting, is this possible?

June 3, 2023
Asked By:jkobrin

In 2015, I had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty to help with breathing. I did not have any complications. Just over the past few days on the inside of one nostril it is extremely sore and I can feel a sharp edge which I think is a spreader graft. Is it possible for this to shift after so much time? thank you
