Question 1

does nasal cartilage heal back to its original form?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Cartiladge has a poor blood supply & depending where it is located can be disfiguring if traumatized.  It is important to have it replace to as much of the original position as possible and be followed by a reputable ENT or plastic surgeon.  Splinting is important.  Sometimes a re-do is necessary or further surgery and splinting.  Deformity may be expected but perhaps doesn't have to  b permanent.

Question 2

please tell me what can i do about nasal cartilage collapsing?

Accepted Answer

Surgery vs props: In the nighttime, you can use nasal-opening strips or cones to keep the nostrils open but, for a permanent solution, you would need to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can advise you.  There are surgical procedures which can restore the structural integrity of the nose so that it won't collapse.

Question 3

ive always had a small bump on sides of upper nose but lately one side looks bigger. could constantly taking deep breaths(due to back issue) & excessive yawning daily cause that or would those repetitive actions not change bone or cartilage in nose?

Question 9

Accepted Answer

It will heal: Nose cartilage does heal on it's own. This is great if your nose is straight but if your nose has been broken then the bones may make the softer cartilage take an abnormal shape and then your nose may heal in that abnormal shape. So if you have any injuries to your nose i would see an ENT and have it evaluated.
