Cartilage outside of the nose - can this be fixed? (Photo)

November 20, 2023

As you can see after my initial rhinoplasty, I was left with a piece of cartilage hanging in my nostril. How does this even happen & if I didn't get it fixed.. what would eventually happen to my nose? Is there any chance of it collapsing or changing in the future?
