Is it possible my nasal valve collapsed and if so, how can it be fixed? (Photo)

adefler
I am about 10 months post-op, and right out of surgery I noticed my nostrils were asymmetrical. Now I am just noticing that it looks like the right side of my nose looks slightly collapsed. I can feel something protruding out when I stick my finger in my nostril and my breathing isn't as clear as it used to be. Is it possibly that side collapsed?
