Should I be concerned about not being able to breathe through my nose 2 weeks post rhinoplasty? (photo)

Asked By:PARADOXREASON in New York, NY

I had a septorhinoplasty roughly 2 weeks ago. Initially I had difficulty breathing through my nose because of the stents. After my 1 week stent/cast removal and cleaning from my surgeon I could breathe marvelously. That feeling only lasted about 2-3 days and now my nasal airway feels even more blocked and congested than before. I cannot breathe through my nose at all.
