Is it possible my nasal valve collapsed and if so, how can it be fixed? (Photo)

Your nose doesn't necessarily looked collapsed. The crease above the cartilage may simply be a bit deeper on the right side, and small asymmetries are normal from side to side after rhinoplasty. To determine if a collapse is occurring that impedes breathing, it is best to see a rhinoplasty expert. If the issue is simply cosmetic, then a filler may be used to make the sides more symmetrical without undergoing additional surgery.

I doubt you have a nasal valve collapse. However, to be certain you need to breathe in deep and see if one side of the nose sinks in and completely blocks breathing on that side. If it does then yes it is a possibility. However the more likely causes are allergies or turbinate hypertrophy, both treatable with nasal sprays and medicine. To help you understand the nasal valve issues, watch the video below.RegardsDr. J

Your photo appears to reveal a supra-alar crease that is deeper on your right as compared to your left. Small irregularities such as this may be improved in some patients, with an injectable filler. In our practice, we prefer to use Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.Hope this helps, and wishing you well.Dr. Joseph
