Asked By:UprootedSoutherner in Wisconsin, WI

It has been two years since I had a septoplasty for a very very crooked septum. After my last post things started kept getting worse, the tip still feels/looks like it is falling and it burns and is swollen. My nostrils are flaring,the tip is more bulbous than before and my septum is flattening due to the weight of the tip pulling it down. I have a horrible feeling it is nasal collapse and I am developing the dreaded pig nose and new breathing problems.
