A member asked:
I have a patch of exposed cartilage (doctor confirmed) the size of the end of a q-tip on my septum inside my nose, likely caused by damaged blood supply from septoplasty. i am three weeks post-surgery. will skin heal over this? how long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually will heal on its own up to 4 months to do so as the cartilage has poor blood supply. Three weeks is very early as scar from surgery matures the defect should close

How, exactly, does a septoplasty fix a deviated septum? Does the surgeon take off some cartilate from the side with the smaller nostril? Actually cut off and move the whole septum? I'm confused and don't really understand the explanations i've read.
