Re: Is this a form of Rhinophyma?

Yes, I think it is very likely that the septoplasty surgery irritated the blood

vessels in your nose. I had a similar experience but with my eyes. Three years

ago I had elective surgery on my eyelids. I had dry eyes but did not know that

I

had rosacea. The surgery caused blood vessels to appear on my eyelids and

slightly darkened areas (circles) under the eyes. I also developed full-blown

rosacea at this time. I believe the surgery puts a lot of stress on the body,

stress which the fragile blood vessels cannot handle. I would talk to your ENT

and dermatologist regarding your problem.
