Why has my septoplasty failed twice?

tarabkiernan
Septoplasty has failed twice. It was originally deviated to the right, and after the surgery deviated to the left. Also, part of the cartilage in my nose had collapsed, so I went back in for a second surgery to get the grafting to my nose, and another septoplasty. It has once again failed, and I cannot blame it on swelling, because it has been a year since my second surgery. If there is such a high success rate, why am I breathing 95% in one nostril and 5% in the other?
