Asked By:ssooffiiaa in Shorewood, IL

Hello. Its been 4 months since I've had an open rhinoplasty. I had a nasal bump reduction. Since my surgery i am having nose congestion all the time. My congestions are worse when the weather is cold, my nose seems to feel less blocked on a warmer weather. I never had breathing problems before, now people ask me all the time if i got a cold because of my blocked nose. Is it normal to feel like this every day for 4 months after rhinoplasty?
