If my nose collapses on deep inspiration, is this internal or external nasal valve collapse? (Photo)
April 6, 2024
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!

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question the edema of thick skin goes down after about 1 to 1.5 years, but as I see, this is the last shape of your nose, so I recommend you a revision operation.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!
Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question the operation I will recommend to you will definitely be an open rhinoplasty operation under general anesthesia, both permanent result and it is possible for the surgeon to easily see and intervene in every area...
There is a natural conduit called the nasolacrimal duct that brings tears from the eye into the nose. It is not worrisome to have nasal secretions move from the nose upward into the eye have to rhinoplasty surgery with septoplasty. Hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
