Options for swollen turbinate 1 year post-op septorhinoplasty? (Photo)

February 4, 2022
Asked By:elizabeth134

I am 11 months postop from my septorhinoplasty and am having consistent issues with my left turbinate. I have little to no airflow throughout the day that gets worse at night. It is also causing my left ear to feel blocked and have pain. I have tried steroids, they have not worked. What are my options?
