Can a nasal collapse get worse?

January 20, 2014
Asked By:peacegirl in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I have a minor collapse on the side of my bridge. I guess it could be classified as an inverted v, but I've been told a revision isn't really necessary. It's been over 10 years since breaking my nose (causing my initial surgery). Is there a chance it will get worse? It's been this way for a long time and surgery is a last resort.
