Could my Nostril Be Collapsing 5 Years Post-Op? What Are Symptoms to Look For?

Kmac7
I had rhinoplasty 5 years ago. 1 nostril is starting to look smaller. You are able to see the scar from the incision and it is red, dry and irritated. I have been getting bloody noses on that side lately. Is it common for there to be complications 5 years later?
