Candidate for revision rhinoplasty due to cartilage? (Photos)

Asked By:Megan32142 in Chicago, Illinois

I had a septo-rhinoplasty done by a great surgeon in 2019. On the left side of my nose, there is a bump. I recently went to my surgeon and they said it was cartilage and not scar tissue, and that cartilage has a “memory” and can try to go back to original shape. it causes my nose to look slightly crooked/larger on the left side. The surgeon said they would not recommend revision rhinoplasty due to potential complications. Can a revision cause more issues than what it’s worth?
