My healing process seems generally in line with the usual experience. However last night I took a peak into my right nostril and noticed a white circle the size of an eraser butt-end about an inch and a half into my nasal cavity.

There is no excessive bleeding.

A deviated septum may or may not contribute to a droopy nose. Correcting this may be as simple as a rhinoplasty. But it may also require a rhinoplasty. See a nasal expert to evaluate you.
