Will Piece of Cartilage on Side of Nose Dissolve on Its Own?

It may go down because of the swelling over the cartilage. Wait at least 9-12 months before doing anything. Each surgeon has his own policy about revisions that are minor, so discuss it with him.

Cartilage irregularities will probably not go away. Revision rhinoplasties should wiat about 6 months if not longer. I prefer waiting a year.

If still present after 3 to 4 months than it will not dissolve. You will need a minor revision. I would discuss in DETAIL with your rhinoplasty surgeon the timing.

This may just be sweling of the soft tissue over the cartilage. If this doesn't resolve it can be revised. Rinoplasty is a very challenging operation and cost will depend on your agreement with your surgeon.

Hi.

I recommend waiting six months before you have a revision rhinoplasty.  Our own individual policy is not to charge a surgical fee for a revision within one year, but each doctor has his or her own policy.

Hi,

You will have to have the cartilage removed it will not dissolve on its own. This can be done about 6 to 8 weeks after the first surgery.

Best,
