How do I know if I have nasal bridge collapse & how would it affect appearance of my nostrils & tip?

Asked By:Sim47 in Orange County, CA

I think I have nasal bridge collapse but I am not sure. Had trauma 4 yrs ago & a septorhino last yr and now my nose bridge seems to be almost falling, like going slightly lower, my nose on one side is also caving inward. How does this/collapsed bridge affect my tip, which too has been falling, kind of like ptosis. I also heard nasal bridge collapse affects the nostrils, retracting them further - is this true? I also have very poor breathing overall thru nose
