What exactly is scarring from a septoplasty that causes sleep apnea?

I had septoplasty they think I have scarring that is now causing sleep apnea how is that possible my roof of my mouth vibrates and my snoring increased after the septoplasty. What happened? He is doing a sleep study but cant you tell some other way?
Is this a sign of a bad surgeon? Move septum vibrates too and the roof of mouth only when I sleep? Im not fat it was the surgery

    Sleep apnea is an obstruction somewhere in the airway. It can be caused by a number of things. Scar tissue is very likely cause. Sleep apnea surgery does not work for many people because the scarring is actually worse than the original problem

    My question to you is did you snore before your nose job. If so you probably had OSA previously. Many people do.

    Sleep apnea is found in people of all sizes and shapes. Kids get SA as well.

    When you have the sleep study, you can ask many questions to the sleep techs and the doctor at the follow up.

    Best wishes
