Am I okay to use breathe right strips 5 months post op (rhinoplasty)?

User Avatar

I had my rhinoplasty 5 months ago. (Very happy with the results) But my breathing isn't 100%. I had no issues prior. No deviated septum or any other issues. I had a hump removal & tip reduction. I'd say my breathing is at about 70-90% but at night it gets worse. Drops to 60-70% breathing. I've noticed if I pull on the sides of my cheek/nose I can breathe better. Am I ok to use breathe right strips to make it easier to breathe at night? Also, is it possible for it to still be internal swelling?
