7 Weeks Post Op, Could I Have Nasal Valve Collapse? (photo)

Medic02
I underwent rhinoplasty 7 weeks ago, having a closed procedure performed to have a hump removed from my bridge. After the procedure I realized that my left nostril sat 1mm higher then the left, but was deemed to be present prior to surgery. Am now noticing that with moderate nasal inhalation, my right nostril collapses. Have been feeling quite congested since surgery. At 5 week post-op, surgeon brushed off the possibility of collapse, have since booked an apt with an ENT for a second opinion.
