If my nose collapses on deep inspiration, is this internal or external nasal valve collapse? (Photo)

Asked By:Versatile0688 in South Brunswick Township, New Jersey

2 years post-septorhinoplasty. Should my nose be collapsing to this degree upon deep inspiration? I don't think that it should be, but I've been told things like, "you're just breathing in too hard." Is this "normal"? Is this external collapse? I also believe I have some degree of internal collapse on both sides. Thank you!
