Possible for Buckled Septum to Heal Straight After Revision Rhinoplasty?

Ava Haven
I have had 3 rhinos in the last 5 years, my last one was 3 weeks ago. My PS said i hardly have any septum to work with, what i did have left is buckled, it curves a little the only way to straighten it, he needs strong cartlidge to attach it to and since the ear has natural curves only rib would work. SO he said he straightened it with sutures but he didnt use any rib cause i had told him i didnt want that. Now he says it could heal straight but it may curve. Is all this sounding right to you? if so what can i do to help it heal straight?
