Based on my observation, your rhinoplasty appears to be conservative, particularly in the tip area. I'm curious about the need for a cartilage graft. Considering your situation, a revision rhinoplasty may be the best option. I apologize for the circumstances.

To address your concerns, it is recommended to have an open discussion with your surgeon who performed the procedure. Find out why the graft was used and where it was placed. Steroid injections can be helpful in softening scar tissue and typically start working within several days. They can be repeated at intervals of several weeks based on your response. If appropriate, modifications can be made to the graft. Your surgeon will be able to determine if this is a viable option for you.
