Do I need a revision? (Photo)

I got a rhinoplasty 7 months ago and I believe I may have an internal valve collapse or mid valve collapse. When I lie down on my side with the collapsed side towards the ceiling, it is harder to breathe through the collapsed nostril. Like the weight of the skin collapses even more. My doctor said it’s not functional, and he plans to put filler in this week. Is this correct? My breathing isn’t the best but it’s not the worst. Just a little bothersome. Not sure if that is swelling or collapse.
