Loss of smell
Septoplasty and turbinectomy usually should not affect smell ability. At four years post-surgery, improvement has most likely maximized. Therefore, I highly recommend that you meet with an ENT surgeon regarding this issue, as it may be something unrelated to the previous surgery.
Best of luck to you,
Dr. A
