What is the Function of Nose Insert Plugs?

October 5, 2013
Asked By:ruthere in Ashley, Ohio

I had a rhino /septoplasty and was told to wear nose plugs nightly. Does it affect the nostrils in the long run leaving them larger or is it for breathing issues only? Does it affect the nostrils overall. It seems to stretch my nostrils and make them looks so big.
