Nasal Valve Collapse Surgery?

Opening the nasal valve after prior rhinoplasty involves recognizing what level of the nasal valve is involved and what caused the valve collapse.  Typically, if the area of collapse is diagnosed properly, and if the appropriate technique/grafts are used to open the valve, then nasal valve reconstruction in the hands of an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon is very straightforward and has a very low risk of needing further surgery.  Good luck!

Nasal valve surgery can be tricky. However if done by a well trained surgeon, it can be your last rhinoplasty. I notice that you are in Philadelphia. Dr Daniel Becker is excellent with nasal valve surgery. You should certainly see him.                                                      Regards                                                                                                                             Dr. J                                                                                                                        Disclaimer: This answer is not intended to give a medical opinion and does not substitute for medical advice.
