Asked By:simoncashley8 in New York City, NY

I had rhinoplasty a month ago and during the second week i noticed that i had difficulty breathing in the night and in the morning when i woke up. when i decided to look in my nose i saw a build up of dry mucous...i used a tweezers and out of each nostril pulled out something that was about an inch long(mucous some but not all dried up)...now its like everyday i have to go in my nose to pull out mucous(not as much as i pulled out the first time) so i can breath....is this normal???
