I have a septal tear I probably got 15 yrs ago from a rhinoplasty which also corrected a deviated septum and turbinates. I don't experience crusting but I do have whistling and a lack of structural support, meaning I can easily move my nose cartilage left to right as if it were "rubbery". One surgeon suggested a button but that button wouldn't provide any support. Any other surgical methods seem invasive and worried they could compromise the delicate structure/shape of my nose. TIA.
