hi...as you have had 1st rhinoplasty done three years ago you can go for 2nd one but remember that adhesions formed as a result of 1st surgery..so due to this the 2nd surgery is always difficult but still you can go for it...as for as the flatness is concerned it is unpredictable whether the absorption of cartilage will occur or not...mostly the cartilage taken from the ribs are not absorb so early..still unpredictable...hope my answer will help out you...thanks
