What is going on with the left side of my nose?

Intelligent115235
What is going on with the left side of my nose (right side in pics). It seems to be caving in and taking on a scooped out look. volume loss? Valve collapse? No trauma as far as I know, and I’ve never had previous rhinoplasty. It’s been slowly getting worse for the past 2 years or so. I was diagnosed with a deviated septum 10 years ago. Breathing isn’t a huge issue, although when I first wake up I can’t breathe out of the left nostril. Can this be fixed?
