It is impossible to tell what may be causing  any cartilage deterioration. It is important make sure that it's fixed and stable before going undergoing a rhinoplasty. The rhinoplasty procedure for this type of problem would include a combination of an onlay graft and a spreader graft to the patient's right side.  For examples similar to this, please see our website rhinoplasty photo gallery link below
