Rhinoseptoplasty 3 weeks ago - Could my septum have shifted on its own and caused the cartilage to expose itself?

Asked By:Considerate3969 in La Canada Flintridge, CA

I have a small white piece of what looks like bone sticking out of my septum on one side of my nose (the originally deviated side), this side of my nose is also more sensitive and if i lightly touch that side, I can feel it in my whole septum. I have been very careful not to bump my nose and have been sleeping elevated since the surgery, I use q tips soaked in saline to clean the nose and apply antibiotic treatment. Could my septum have shifted on its own and caused the cartilage to expose itself?
