Is it possible to fix a collapsing nose without changing the shape?

February 17, 2019
Asked By:Pop Milton in Milton, Massachusetts

I don't have a deviated septum, but I feel like a piece of cartilage tore off the bone. It's been blocking my airway for 6 years. I went to an ENT and he said my septum was straight and he would be disinclined to do anything. My nose looks really pretty and small and straight. But on the inside, it's hard to breathe, sometimes it closes upon inhaling, and the right nostril I believe is collapsed. What can be done?
