Trouble Breathing 6 Months After Rhinoplasty- Swelling?

December 21, 2012
Asked By:naserl

I was operated on my nose 6 months ago (open rhinoplasty) to make my nose more narrow and small. I still don't get as much air in my nose as I used to- except when I pull my cheeks right next to my nose outwards- why? What could have happened? My doctor won't give me an answer and I wonder if something possibly went wrong?
