Why is my nose getting progressively more crooked after rhinoplasty? How would you fix it? (Photo)

hellonyc
I had a rhinoplasty ~ 6 years ago (partly for breathing /deviated septum and partly for aesthetics.) The Dr. told me I should only get the turbinoplasty (no septoplasty). Since then, my nose has been getting progressivly more crooked. It looks as if one side collapsed. Inside, you can feel the cartage is very crooked and misshaped. When I went back to the Dr to discuss this, he said it happened because of my face is asymmetrical. Is this true? What can cause this to happen and how do you fix it?
