How can a collapsed nose be fixed?

rosiecon12
I have had an issue with multiple cases of trauma and damage to my nose. The nostrils completely close when I breathe and it's really scary. Sometimes either side will swell up and I can't sleep on it. I don't think it's allergies as I never had issues with this before trauma. Realistically how does this get fixed? Won't surgery further interfere and cause worse swelling and poorer breathing?
