Smell from the nose 1 year after rhinoplasty. Is there a cure?

April 29, 2014
Asked By:R195 in United Kingdom, GB

My surgeon has prepared me before the operation that there are numerous complaints after nasal surgery about bad smell coming from the nose and he said the reason is unknown. I am experiencing it now and it's unpleasant. Is there a cure to it?
