1. new study suggests:      
10% of Septo-Rhinoplasty patients have permanent decrease in nasal airflow after surgery which means it is very common to experience decreased breathing for the first 3-6 months after Septo-Rhinoplasty surgey.
2. After the internal swelling has decreased breathing will improve.Keep in mind that patients will recover at their own healing rates. Recovery will also depend on the extent of the surgery performed.However, your surgeon will recommend that you focus your attention on healing instead of doing other activities.
