I had a rhinoplasty done in 2019 and ever since the procedure, i have had a permanent stuffy nose. I am now a loud breather and sometimes have to breathe through my mouth cause my nostrils are so clogged. I am perfectly healthy but my nose is just clogged up. It feels like the insides of my nose are swolen and wont let air in. I dont know what to do about it and just want to breathe normally again.

Answer: Rhinoplasty I’ve seen this occur and usually it’s because your turbinates are enlarged. An examination by a nasal surgeon should tell the story. I often reduce the turbinates to avoid this problem. Very simple procedure with minimal risk

Answer: See a Plastic Surgeon or ENT Rhinoplasty is one of the most variable procedures in terms of surgical technique, so it is impossible to tell exactly what was done without an operative report. However, many "reduction" type rhinoplasty procedures focus on removing the cartilage from the dorsum of the nose, which can weaken or obstruct the airway. I would see a board certified plastic surgeon or ENT and bring your old operative reports to see if anything can be done to correct this breathing problem, as there most likely are a few surgical maneuvers that can help.
