What's this dent / hollow area? Would I benefit from a revision septorhinoplasty? (Photo)

Neat572357
I have had a septorhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum. But came out of surgery with still a deviated septum, breathing issues on one side,and what feels a dent/hole on the side of my nose- feels like cartilage was missing. What could this dent be and is it true that when cartilage is broken, it refills with fibres when it heals (meaning the dented area would fill up with time and won’t look or feel hollow anymore)? I believe the dent could be internal nasal collapse.
