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?

Answer: Using breathe right strips after rhinoplasty You will do no harm by using the breathe rite strips to help you breathe better. Sometimes after a rhinoplasty procedure the breathing can be reduced from what it was before surgery. Often swelling is present but should resolve over one year. In addition, it is possible that in reducing the size of your nose that the nasal valve area might be compromised. You should speak to your surgeon about your concerns.
