Dent forming in middle of nose. Is it collapsing? (Photo)

Asked By:jas_986 in England, AR

I have noticed my nose is starting to dip in the middle and looks different every day! I' thinkmy right valve has collapsed as when I breathe in this side goes right in. Could that be causing it or is it saddle nose? The dent is a v shape. I have a hole in my septum (not sure how I got it, was tiny at first and only noticed it as it whistled but has grown over time) so could this be causing my nose collapse? I have an appointment in a few weeks but I'm scared Its going to cave in in the meantime
