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

U
User284859492922Nov 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?

It's normal for lingering swelling to endure for several months following rhinoplasty, and achieving the ultimate results might span up to a year. Considering your photo, there's a chance that a revision might be necessary, but a conclusive assessment must wait. Wishing you the best!
