How does a middle vault collapse happen? Will I require an open revision surgery to correct my nose? (photos)

tnt2285
Septorhinoplasty Jan 2016. My nose has collapsed inwards and appears as a "dent" on my right side. I am also still having difficulty breathing through my left nostril and my alar creases do not appear symmetrical. Will I need an open revision rhinoplasty to fix these concerns? What can be done cosmetically to improve the appearance of my nose? My surgeon also told me he could put fillers in the indented area which I am not comfortable with as I feel this is a "temporary fix". Please help!
