Congestion and blockage 2 years post septorhinoplasty - what would the remedy entail?

Question

40 yo male, septo-rhinoplasty 2 years ago with turbinoplasty on left and turbinectomy on right of inferior turbinates. Primary issue has been right nostril with congestion and blockage day/night. During the day, somewhat better, use saline rinses/nasal dilator. Night time, nothing helps, right nostril is completely blocked 4 hours into sleep significantly affecting quality of sleep. Could above scenerio be a combo issue with turbinate and inner nasal valve? What would the remedy entail?

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand your question you might have still deviation in your nose or stenosis due to the surgery. It would be better to arrange a consultation with your surgeon. The final result understand only after a detailed consultation with equipments. Best Regards!

Hello,
There are multiple reasons for nasal congestion/ blockage. The best thing for you is to consult with an otolaryngologist or facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and find out the exact reason for your problem.
