Does scar tissue cause nasal valve collapse? If scar tissue is blocking breathing will it go away and when?

Asked By:taylor777 in Crown Point, IN

12 weeks post op, deviated sytom and bone and bridge shaved. When i pull up on area in nose where incisions were made with a cutip, I am able to breath better. Is this a sign of nasal collaspe from the incision or could this be blockage from scar tissue. I can feel the incision site which is very irritating. Already got 2 more opinions. I am told should get better. My nose is not getting any better. will this scarring or nasal valve collapse go away on its own . help. can not breath!
