Do I have a deviated septum at five weeks post op?

March 27, 2019
Asked By:HX24 in London, GB

Hi, so I am a caucasian woman and have had rhinoplasty 5 weeks ago. However I can only breathe very well out of one nostril and my septum is leaning the other way. The other nostril is smaller than the other and I was wondering if this was uneven swelling or something more. Please let me know as I am in distress and cannot go back to my job at the moment. Thank you.
