Asked By:hacord22 in Newark, New Jersey

I recently had a rhinoplasty about 6 months ago I am not noticing one nostril has either scar tissue or skin I’m not sure what this could be but it’s making it difficult to breath out of that side and I hate looking at the inside of my nose. Also noticing nostril getting wider.
