Recommendations on post-surgical issue from bacteria? (Photos)

Asked By:Hang10 in New York, New York

Hi Realself Community, Reaching out for guidance. I had revision rhino/septoplasty ~1.5 yrs ago, and upon getting my cast off, it was determined that Citrobacter Koseri bacteria had gotten into my nose during the surgery. The bacteria destroyed some of the cartilege in my nose and also left scar tissue in there. After 1.5 years, the nose should be in a position to be fixed. I am looking for advice as to what to do to correct it. Hopefully a Dr has experienced this before and knows how to fix
