When I breathe in my nose only one nostril collapses - am I candidate for a revision septorhinoplasty? (photos)

Given your breathing issues and the dynamic collapse of your nose that you're describing, it certainly sounds like a revision septorhinoplasty is your only viable option for long-term success with nasal breathing and to effect a change in your nasal appearance.

Hello. I am very sorry for your unfortunate surgery. You are experiencing nasal airway collapse because there is probably still a very serious curvature in your nose. With a very good functional septorhinoplasty, these problems will be solved very well. Please look at the photos and videos we have sent you. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Hi there! Nostril collapse and trouble breathing can be very bothersome. Often times, this is due to a curved septum and weak cartilage support near the tip which causes the tissues to collapse on inspiration. This can be verified during physical examination using rhinoscopy, palpation, and Modified Cottle maneuver. You may need a revision procedure which addresses the septum and places cartilage grafts near the lateral wall to prevent collapse. If done well, you will likely have great improvement in breathing and the appearance of the nose. I would suggest a consult with a facial plastic surgeon to further discuss your candidacy.
