Whats a nasal valve collapse? how does it relate to my deviated septum and chronic sinus infections? will septoplasty correct or is it separate op?

Obstructed nose: Nasal valve collapse ca be caused by deviated septum or other anatomical problems with your nose. It is best treated with other procedures at the same time as septoplasty or septorhinoplasty as cartilage grafts from the septum are commonly used to treat the valve. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for treatment options.

Nasal valve: The nasal valve is a normal structure of the nose, but weakness of its walls or narrowing of its area can lead to nasal obstruction. Deviation of the septum can contribute to it. Functional surgery (with or without cosmetic surgery of the nose) can greatly enhance one's quality of life.

Nasal valve: nasal valve collapse contributes to nasal obstruction but is a separate issue from septal deviaton. Have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
