One Nostril is Always Blocked After Rhinoplasty. Do I Need Another Surgery?

MrM101
So it's been exactly six weeks since I did my rhinoplasty.The results have been great and I am totally satisfied. However I have been having this breathing issue: one nostril is always blocked. so I breathe with the other nostril, and as soon as it opens up, the other nostril automatically-magically blocks. So I'm always breathing through one nostril only, never both. And my doctor is out of the country now so I can't visit him. Does this have an explanation? Do I need another surgery? Thank you
