Nose Re-Surgery

Can cartilage be seen inside my nose right now? Please help

Warning: nose hairs and pores in the photo... I had revision rhinoplasty with autologous costal cartilage about 4 years ago, and around 2-3 months ago, something kind of long (about 2 cm?) like fishing line came out of my nose?? It was like a transparent, thin thread.. So I asked the hospital, and they said it was originally dissolvable suture, but it might not have dissolved, and if it bothered me, I could cut it myself. (The hospital is in Seoul and I’m in Busan, so it was a bit hard to go.) So I just cut off the long part with small scissors and have been going about my life, but starting a few days ago, my nose became swollen and painful. So I just took a photo with my camera, and I can see what looks like some kind of knot and a fairly large whitish thing. It’s not nasal crust, so is that cartilage... Is it that a lot of the knot is showing.. Either way, shouldn’t neither of them be visible?? Please give me some advice
