The only material that typically resorbs after rhinoplasty is filler injected for non-surgical rhinoplasty.

Hello and thank you for your question. If you are referring to resorption of cartilage grafts, it typically presents as deformity/collapse of the structure/anatomical area where the grafts were placed (loss of tip projection, dorsal irregularity/collapse, etc). My best advice is that you discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in performing rhinoplasty.

We have not seen a patient develop a crooked nasal appearance and nasal obstruction after jaw / TMJ / malocclusion surgery - but the exact nature of your surgery is not clear, and the septum is attached to the floor of your maxilla, so it's conceivable. Issues like "Limited opening, difficulty ...
Nina, Great questions! Rhinoplasty should not produce any significant risk due to your underlying condition. The nose has very robust blood supply from many areas and the columella incision will no propose an additional risks. Bests, Dr. Berens
