Will width of nostrils increase after Rhinoplasty?

Asked By:riionjal in Cedar Park, TX

I had rhinoplasty to correct the hump and nasal curvature. The doctor put a large and tight packing only in my left nostril and asked me to keep it for two days. Will this tight packing with its pressure increase the width of my left nostril?
