Dear Alfi dasthakeer, Thank you for your question and congratulations on your septoplasty operation. I tell all of my patients, that for the first 2-3 weeks they may feel as if they have a stuffy nose. It takes awhile for the swelling to go down. It is important to be patient, as the final results may not be apparent for at least 6-12 months after surgery. Best of luck to you!

You probably still have edema. If this is the case, it's normal that you cannot breathe easily. Please see your surgeon after a month following your operation. 
Hope this helps!
Best,
