Can septal extension graft obstruct breathing and can it be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:mmark07 in Dallas, Texas

I had a SEG in revision rhinoplasty to lengthen my nose. While the outside of my nose looks good, there is an obstruction protruding from my septum blocking the airflow/internal nasal valve of my right nostril. I lived for 5 months thinking it was swelling but when I saw my surgeon for a follow up, he me it’s not swollen and is the SEG. When I expressed that I had difficulty breathing, he told me this is my new “baseline” and to adjust to it. I did not have breathing issues before this.
