Will electromechanical reshaping of cartilage (or anything similar) ever be available for cases like me?

Asked By:SDAT1234

I had a rhinoplasty that left me with a large septal perforation and a crooked nose. I had a revision, and my nose is somewhat straighter, but still leans to the left, has an uneven tip, and a collapsed valve, making it difficult to breathe. I have consulted with several surgeons, and all of them say it is too risky to perform another surgery. Will electromechanical reshaping of cartilage (or anything similar) ever be available for cases like me where surgery isn't an option?
