I had a rhinoplasty and inside my left nostril there is a large mass, it looks like a scar but it is in on the line where the typical incision is made. It feels lumpy and there is lack of hair growing in the area which makes me think it is scarring. It blocks a lot of my nostril and causes a whistle when I breathe which I can not stand. It always feels like there is something up my nose. I have some collapse in that nostril also, is there anything at all that can be done to fix this?

Answer: Nostril Collapse and Partial Obstruction after Nose Surgery Partial Nose obstruction and airway collapse are NOT normal and should not be part of recovery from nose surgery. You need to have your surgeon evaluate the reason for both. Depending on how much time has elapsed from your surgery, the obstruction can be caused by different processes - all of which are correctable. The nose pinching / collapse on inspiration is worrisome and suggests that the lower lateral cartilage arches which maintain the nose opening may have been weakened and cannot withstand the inspiratory pressures. Correcting this may require placing a stiffening cartilage graft to prevent collapse.
