Asked By:birdy14 in California, MD

Hi! I had a septoplaty with a turbinoplaty a year ago and since then i'm having some problem.Everytime I breathe I feel a burning sensation and I lost a bit of my sense of smell too.It's weird because the problem is only on my left side.I told him that i fell better when my nose is block otherwise i fell that there is too much air passing through and its burning.He told me that he could try to put it like before by putting a bit of my septum cartilage on my turbinate.So is it possible?
