Hi RealSelf Community, 8 months ago I underwent ablation of the inferior turbinate, septoplasty, and repair for nasal stenosis. I'm concerned about the persistent swelling in my nose. My nose looks wider than before, which my surgeon initially assured me would not be a result of the procedures. I'm including pre and post op pictures to give a better idea of the changes. Should swelling last this long? Any way to reduce swelling? The nasal valve collapse has not done anything, what to do?
