Could issues breathing after rhinoplasty be due to scar tissue or turbinate issues? (photo)

Asked By:missn5 in Washington, District of Columbia

Ever since my rhinoplasty procedure, I’ve had breathing issues.The breathing issues seem to be getting worse and worse, especially when laying down. I recently noticed in one of my nostrils, it has a big mass blocking my airway. When I lay on down, I am unable to breathe from this side. is anyone able to let me know if this is a scar tissue issue or a turbinate issue? no known allergies but based on research I have tried allergy medication to see if this would help. It did not. Any insight?
