Breathing: It would be important to see a board certified ENT or plastic surgeon. It may be in relation to previous rhinoplasty or not have anything to do with your previous surgery.

Difficult problem: You need to now why you had the surgery on your nose. Breathing problems can have several causes. Sometimes they are anatomical, such as with a deviated septum, or they may be of medical origin such as with allergy. You best option would be to see ENT or plastic surgeon for evaluation.

Need ENT EVALUATION: You should get an ENT evaluation. Nasal airway obstruction can be a complex condition which may require assessment of the anatomy as well as the physiology to determine of the obstruction is static or dynamic, unmanly instances allergic rhinitis or sinusitis can be treated with medication. Other causes may require more complex diagnostic imaging and eventually surgery to achieve improvements.
