Trouble breathing on right side 2 years after rhinoplasty (Photos)

Asked By:Modest505531

I had my nose done two years ago. Initially after my surgery, I had issues breathing from the right side of my nose. My doctor said there was lot more swelling on that side. Two years in, I am still having trouble breathing from the right side. I constantly feel congested as if something is stuck. Whenever I blow my nose, hard, there is blood. When I lie on my left side and use decongestants there’s rare relief. When I take a deep breath my nostril caves in because it’s always congested.
