It has been two years since my septorhinoplasty. After the operation, the nurse quickly and with pressure removed the packing from inside my nose, after that for a while I had complete nasal congestion and also severe runny nose while eating. My nose is still almost blocked and I have a runny nose when I eat or in cold weather. Can removing the nasal packing forcefully and quickly damage the tissue? Or was the tissue damaged during surgery? Is vasomotor rhinitis a complication of surgery???
