Sorry to hear about what has happened since your surgery? Its hard to picture..I get so confused w/ the terminology of the nose..what is the top/sides. I have a fracture that I will be getting repaired. I have been to a few docs, but Im so scared to get anything done since I loved my nose that I was born with...but such is life, right? Do you have any pics that you can share of what a collapsed valve is? I had one doc talk of spreader grafts to bring my side up..but my ent that is ready to do the surgery says I dont need them..everyone says something different, Im so confused..thats why it has taken me this long to do anything.
