Can a Nasal Valve Collapse Be a Temporary Problem or Go Back to Normal on Its Own?

Turbinate surgery does not cause a midvault collapse ( internal valve) or an external valve collapse.  Usually cartilage grafts can help with this.  But it sounds a bit soon to do that.

I'm sorry to hear about your experience.  As you don't give a time frame from when you had your turbinate reduction, some swelling and continued healing is still possible.  It's also not clear if you had a septoplasty performed at the same time.  However, if significant time has elapsed, the symptoms you describe are  consistent with nasal valve collapse.  This is something that can be fixed.  Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can assist you in achieving the results you desire.

The surgery you had usally does not cause nasal valve collapse.  Your problem may be due to swelling in the area.  If this does not improve over the next several weeks, you should have your surgeon re evaluate your nose.  Donald R. Nunn MD  Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
