Empty nose syndrome occurs after extensive nasal surgery such as septoplasty with inferior turbinate excision or extensive endoscopic sinus surgery. There are many other causes for dryness and nasal obstruction after surgery. You can get a diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses to confirm the diagnosis
