Breathing 1 Month Post-Op?

LilyRose52
Hi. I'm about 1 month post-op from a septa/rhinoplasty. I still find it a bit hard to breathe. It's a bit congested and stuffy. I'm assuming it's because of the junk still in my nose, but I have been using saline rinses to help. I find that I breathe better afterwards, but then it gets stuffy again in the morning. Is this normal?
