Septorplasty Should I Be Worried About Nasal Valve Collapse?

hello i recently had septorhinoplasy, had a small dorsal hump removed and cause of this apparently my nostrils needed to be made smaller, i used to have a sideways bump in my right nostril blocking my airway, now its gone and it looks like its replaced with skin or something really soft? is this normal? should i be worried about a collapse as it is not as strong as cartilage, i am really paranoid about my looks aswell as dealing with people when they see the difference. any help would be great.
