Vasomotor rhinitis after nose surgery? (Photo)

Omidvar
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???
