I had a septoplasty with turbinate reduction a little over a year ago. Is my nose collapsing?

Rxtigress77
When the splints were removed I could breathe! It got better each week. However, after about 6 months the "bad" side started to feel blocked again. I'm getting sinus infections again. I can't breathe out of my nose when I lay down. The bridge of my nose is now visibly flat. I also have a crease that runs halfway across the bottom portion of the bridge towards the tip. All of these things were not present before my surgery. Any advice?
