Hello, I had my Septoplasty two weeks ago, the doctor put splints inside my nose ( beside each columella)after a week the doctor removed the splints, and now i can breath and my nose is almost back to its good shape, the only problem is that my nosetrils are wider than before, when i asked the doctor he told me that he widen my nosetrils so he can perform the operation and that it is going to be narrower as it used to be after sometime, is this correct and how much time will it takes for it.
