Dryness, burning, dry congestion after rhinoplasty. Looking for the best revision surgeon to save my life!

Hello Doctors, I’m willing to travel if anyone can recommend a Doctor that specializes in revision rhinoplasty. I had rhinoplasty 9 months ago and my life is a mess. I can’t function. Burning sensation, dryness, dry congestion suffocation feeling.

What can be causing my issue? I didn’t have breathing issues before surgery
