Post Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty - Doctor Didn't Use Splint: Can't Breath Out of Right Nostril

Concerned Friend
A friend of mine had Revision Functional Septo-Rhinoplasty surgery that took 5 hours. Her Doctor did not use splints. Now 4 weeks later she can not breath out of her right nostril and her left is not much better. What could be the problem?
