“Rhinoplasty”
I had Rhinoplasty on 5/8/09. I had rhinoplasty to remove a hump, and correct a deviated septum. I am happy with the results except for the hole inside my nose.
I have a hole inside my nostril but it does not go through. Is this septal perforation? Will it heal on its own? What can i do to help it heal? Also, I feel as if I have a stuffy nose all the time now, is this normal?

Cons: Healing inside the nose takes time. I am still not breathing well and its been 5 weeks. Pros: Looks great
I had Rhinoplasty 5 weeks ago. I think I have developed an enlarged turbinate inside my left nostril. I noticed it right after the interior splints were removed 3 days after surgery. It hasnt gone down. Is there treatment for it? Is this common after Rhinoplasty?

My doctor was {edited}. I am going to an ENT next week for a second opinion because Dr. said I had collapsed valves. The outside of my nose looks fantastic but the inside looks like swiss cheese. It has been a little over 2 months. I cannot breathe very well, I have scabs inside my nose, and constantly sneeze. I would attach photos but I cant take pics of the inside and the outside looks fantastic. I am hoping this is just part of the healing process and my ENT tells me everything is going to be okay, but somehow I doubt it. If I had it to do all over again I would not have forfeited my smell and breathing for looking good.
