My revision rhinoplasty doctor added cartilage grafts into my alars bc he said my nostrils were too small. I am 7 months post opt and I can feel the cartilage grafts: they are stiff and very thick. It's effecting my breathing to the point where I have to wed snore guards/splints to open my airways so I can breath. I wear these 24/7. What can be done to soften these cartilage grafts in my alars? Can steroid shots help soften these grafts so they're not so thick and stiff?
