I had a revision rhino in late 2019. I had a rib graft on one side fixed via another open revision in March 2024 because it was making my nose asymmetrical and C-shaped (by the same doctor). I'm 4 months out from that last procedure and it looks exactly the same as before. That side of my nose is severely swollen looking all the time and looks extremely c-shaped still. Is there any chance this will go away down the line?
