I had septoplasty 8 months ago, septum is loose and makes a whistling sound. Is this normal?

The side that was to be opened more, is still reddish inside. Sometimes I hear my nose whistling, and there is still a little scab that I can feel sometimes. The middle of my nose, I'm assuming it is my septum, is loose and it moves still. Is this normal, does it take a long time for my septum to become stable?
