Answer: Septoplasty surgery can correct a deviated septum to improve breathing
Hello and thanks for the question. 3 days after surgery is quite early to expect full return of airflow on both sides. There is significant swelling that occurs in the nose after surgery and this can last weeks to months. It is not uncommon for the swelling to "shift" a bit...
Hi cpadera,
The symptoms you mentioned you are experiencing is not related to the surgery. While further evaluation and test is required, it seems more like a hormonal imbalance/fluctuation inspite of normal baseline hormone work up.

Although not always it is common to have asymmetry after septoplasty. It could take months for uneven swelling to go down completely. See your Dr. regularly on your follow up appointments and document change. Best of luck to you.
