I had a septorhinoplasty with IT reduction a year ago. I started to notice that the right side is caving in a bit while inhaling hardly. On the lateral wall. Does it look like nasal valve collapse? Thanks In advance:)

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. If you are also experiencing breathing problems, then placement of spreader may help all of your issues. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Dr Paweł Szychta Your symptoms could indicate nasal valve collapse, especially if the lateral wall caves in during inhalation. This can happen post-septorhinoplasty if cartilage support was weakened or over-resected. Consult a rhinoplasty specialist or ENT for evaluation. Temporary measures like nasal strips can help, but surgical revision (e.g., grafts) may be needed for a permanent fix.
