Nasal Valve Collapse 2 months post op? Any hope for it improving with swelling or will it only get worse/ require revision?!

melmel1122
I am almost 2 months post op (7 weeks) and am getting barely any air through my right nostril. Inside I can clearly see a very small airway that closes even more when I inhale. I also see the outside slightly cave in when I inhale. I never had breathing problems prior to surgery so this is very frustrating and devastating if I need revision. Will the collapse continue to get worse as swelling goes down and restrict my breathing more? OR is there any hope the problem will get better with time?
