Causes of Nasal Valve Collapse. Plastic surgery to the nose, or rhinoplasty, is the most common cause of nasal valve collapse. Also, a nasal valve collapse can occur after trauma to the nose or nose surgery as the result of inflammation, enlarged tissue or even scar tissue.
Deviated septum. Overview. Deviated septum A deviated septum occurs when your nasal septum is significantly displaced to one side, making one nasal air passage smaller than the other. A deviated septum occurs when the thin wall (nasal septum) between your nasal passages is displaced to one side. In many people, the nasal septum is displaced â or deviated â making one nasal passage smaller. When a deviated septum is severe, it can block one side of your nose and reduce airflow, causing difficulty breathing. The additional exposure of a deviated septum to the drying effect of airflow through the nose may sometimes contribute to crusting or bleeding in certain individuals.
