I had Septum & Turbinate surgery recently & it seems like the middle area of my nose is now larger then before. Is this normal?

No – whistling after nasal surgery is not “normal”. It may be due to internal scarring of the nose, persistent swelling or even a perforation of the nasal septum.

Post operatively my patients cleanse the inner nose with 1/2 strength hydrogen peroxide on a q tip, no nose blowing and are prescribed an antibiotic and steroid dose pack. Flonase, a steroid inhaler is safe to use because of its low steroid concentration.

There isn't much fat on the nose and any thickness you see is usually attributed to other tissue, namely skin and cartilage.
