I had a septolplasty 5 weeks ago. My left nostril is completely closed and a 2nd ENT who Did not perform the surgery said its clearly deviated and a CT scan shows that is deviated and that's the reason I cant breathe through my left nostril. The surgeon who performed the surgery said that's how it's supposed to be, it's just swollen. It's clearly not swollen, but very visibly deviated. How long do I need to wait to have a revision? The feeling I have in my nose is unbearable and I need relief
