Is it possible that I have a collapsed nasal valve? (Photos)

Asked By:dchri5

I underwent septorhinoplasty a while ago due to a broken nose. I had issues breathing through my nose but it was much worse on the left side. After surgery, breathing improved overall but still much better on the right side. There are times when no air is coming in or out of the left side at all. The left side looks different as well.
