Can Turbinates Be Swollen One Year Post-rhinoplasty?

July 22, 2010
Asked By:dawn4540 in Tarpon Springs, FL

My daughter had her rhinplasty last August to correct a deviated septum and for cosmetic reasons. Her turbinates are still swollen, she still can't breath and is filling up with mucus all the time. She is presently taking the nasal steroid spray. Is this normal and what can be done? She actually wants a revision as her nose is too upturned and still too projected; can this be addressed in a revision?
