How long does it take to get used to new patterns of airflow following turbinate reduction?

I had a revision septoplasty to improve air flow in my right nostril and cautery of inferior turbinate in my left. My left airway already feels much more open with much less resistance and I'm finding it hard to regulate my breathing. It feels like I'm overinhaling and am much more conscious of my nasal breathing. This is causing a lot of anxiety. How long until I should get used to the new pattern of airflow?
