Could asymmetrical nostrils post-septoplasty/turbinate reduction be caused by swelling? (Photo)

Asked By:sla88 in Savannah, GA

An ENT performed a Septoplasty and Inferior Turbinate Reducation on me 6 days ago. My nostrils were asymmetrical pre-surgery due to a deviated septum. Now after the procedure, they are even more asymmetrical. One of the nurses called to check on me the next day and told me it was because there was more work done to one side than the other, so there is just more swelling. However, now most of my swelling has gone down and I just don’t see how the nostril will just change shape.
