I had a rhinoplasty revision with ear cartilage 2weeks ago.This is my third surgery.I was born with a bump on the bridge of my nose that's why i decided to have a rhinoplasty ,that surgery turned out great cosmetically speaking,but I couldn't breathe so i decided to get that fix.The second surgery didn't help at all so I went to a facial surgeon and he did a rhinoplasty revision with my ear cartilage,but now my nose looks big with a bump on the bridge. Is it going to stay like that forever?
