Will I look different after nasal valve collapse surgery?

I will be getting a septoplasty as well as a rhinoplasty for nasal valve collapse. I have voiced to my ENT that I do not have any desire to look different. He told me that I would be able to tell some difference but it would be minimal and most people wouldn't be about to tell the difference. He said it would look slightly "fuller" in the area that now collapses with inspiration. In your experience how much, if any, of a change is there when no change is desired, thank you.
