I can't reach my doctor's office right now since it's too late. It's been >48h post surgery where I had a septoplasty, my nasal bones put back into place, and some other stuff I can't recall anymore. I had bilateral nasal packing put in. I was told it was absorbable. Some of it seems to have come out today and I was wondering if it should have and whether I should be concerned that it came out so soon. The doctor's office made it seem like it would be up there for a lot longer (like a week).

You have a very wide nose, with very thick oily skin not uncommon in your race. Significant improvement can be made. You need to be image and have a full discussion with your surgeon so that you will be able to realize the degree of smallness and narrowness that can be made
Rhinoplasty surgery can help improve the issues you describe. Insurance may cover some or all of any functional part of surgery, such as the repair of a deviated septum where the breathing is improved. Cosmetic improvements are generally billed separately, and will not be covered by insurance....
