I had a septoplasty with turbinate reduction three weeks ago. My septum is still visibly running diagonal and bulging on one side leaving one nostril all but closed. Will this improve, or did the painful operation likely fail?

Ive had perforated septum for 1yr. To breath through nose each day, I have to blow out a big ball shaped blood clot or else air barely comes through. Blood clots look like they were filling the perforation. Makes life more difficult than previously?
