Why can't I breathe after a Septorhinoplasty? Should I see a plastic surgeon or ENT doctor? (photos)

cantbreathe12Feb 15, 2022
I went into a septorhinoplasty in the summer of 2020 with breathing problems. The surgery was meant to improve my breathing and also make some aesthetic changes to the structure of the nose. Unfortunately, after the surgery, not only has my breathing not gotten better, it has got much worse than how it used to be. My question is who should I see, a plastic surgeon or an ENT? Do the pictures provided suggest anything wrong with the structure that could be affecting my breathing?

Since this disease is pretty new we can not be sure of what compliations may occure or how your body would react against anesthesia. No one actually knows. In our clinic we do not perform a rhinoplasty on patients who had covid and its symptoms earlier than 2 months after they tested negative.
