Why am I experiencing turbinate and facial swelling 2 years after rhinoplasty?

November 10, 2024

Approximately 2 years ago, I had a rhinoplasty to reduce the size of my nose and straighten it. My septum was pretty straight right after surgery but my GP observed that my septum was deviated again about a year later. Nasal breathing issues were more pronounced post-op, a year later. I've also developed unshakeable eyebags that never existed before. My surgeon has said I have swollen turbinates and should use nasal spray to reduce all inflammation. Will this really resolve the issues?
