Donor Rib Cartilage on Bridge Skin Is Red- Should I Worry?

Meemee7
Should I be concern that my bridge with rib cartilage is red and very noticeable thru skin? Does this mean I should have a revision very soon since I don't want my skin to thin out more with more time. I am post ops 2 months. I can see the cartilage very clearly at the bridge between my eyes. In addition it is also crooked toward left and nostril asymmetry very obvious. Is there any reason why I should wait? I want it removed eventually.
