Post Rhino Breathing issues / collapse (Photo)

December 2, 2024
Asked By:melissap123 in Boon, Michigan

1.5 years post rhinoplasty Overall results are okay, but I cannot breathe out of the right nostril still. A small amount of air can make its way in and out. I also have unevenness from below and I am wondering if the right side has slight collapse. I was advised to continue nasal spray but that hasn’t resolved the issue. If I pull the cheek slightly or push the lower nostril slightly outward, I can breathe.
