I had a deviated septum, very swollen turbinates, a bone spur on the side of my nose near the top from a an injury, and 70% blockage in each nostril. I had septoplasty, turbinate reduction, & rhinoplasty on June 17. My nose looks bigger than when it looked when the took the splint off. One of my nostrils is bigger than the other and my nose looks crooked. I'm stopped up, and can't blow my nose yet though. Scabs still there.
