A member asked:
I had turbinate removal & septorhinoplasty 3 weeks ago. is this the best my breathing will be? i still have a lot of swelling obviously.

Ask your surgeon: to be sure, but if there is residual swelling, it might still be causing some obstructive symptoms. When the swelling subsides, it should get better.
