Treatment for Enlarged Turbinate After Rhinoplasty?

June 11, 2009
Asked By:chaos233 in Fort Lauderdale, FL

I had Rhinoplasty 5 weeks ago. I think I have developed an enlarged turbinate inside my left nostril. I noticed it right after the interior splints were removed 3 days after surgery. It hasn't gone down. Is there treatment for it? Is this common after Rhinoplasty?
