Asked By:Eva5Fancy in Kingdom City, MO

I am a week post op after a rhinoplasty I can breathe when I flare my nostrils but when I don't I can't breathe and my nostrils collapse, there very thin now than they used to be, how long do I have to wait before I can use a nasal dilator and how would I get this fixed in the long run?
