I had a rhinoplasty done on June 14 and it is now September. I had my nose narrowed and had my deviated septum corrected. But My breathing is worse than before. When I sit down it is like my nose because slightly stuffed up. Then when I lay down my nose completely closes up on either one side or the other or both close up.
