Will septorhinoplasty fix my crooked cartilage? (Photos)

MTK19Jul 16, 2022
21 year old Caucassian Male with a big nose. :) I have undergone a septoplasty surgery to fix my crooked cartilage, but my cartilage had reverted back to the way it was as the general practitioner pointed out. I do not want to undergo anoher septoplasty as I do not know if it will fix it. Recovery is also a pain. I am wondering if the septorhinoplasty would fix the problem? If so how? Thank you for taking your time to answer and wish you all the best... Cheers!!
