Does this look like exposed cartilage? (Photo)

Question

I had revision rhinoplasty in a different country (Turkey). I went and saw someone with the best reviews however based on the appearance of nose I’m starting to question if any of them were real. My biggest concern being, what looks like bone cartilage. I would just go see an ent specialist, however they are currently booked for another month and I’m having a hard time getting through no matter how much I relay the urgency. First pic is my before. As you can imagine I had a lot done to fix.

Since the white area is circular and almost like a little bubble, a small Cyst, possibly related to a dissolvable suture, it's more likely than exposed cartilage. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as i can see in the photos it looks like cartilage. I recommend you to see an ENT specialist as soon as possible or you can get in touch with your surgeon who performed your surgery.In order to make a better evaluation I would need more information (for example did they use rib or ear cartilage? ; ...).Best regards!
