Just noticed exposed cartilage inside nose next to septum after septoplasty/rhinoplasty 3 weeks ago

March 5, 2014
Asked By:Krickett in Wilmington, IL

It's located about 1/4 inch or so inside of my nose, next to the septum. Some dissolvable sutures did come out, but I can feel that there's more sutures and I'm careful not to disturb them. I'm worried now.
