Where are the stitches located in a deviated septum repair & what do they look like?

Hello, thank you for your question. Insurance companies cover procedures when there is a functional impairment that needs to be corrected. In other words, if your deviated nasal septum is causing nasal obstruction (blocked breathing), your nose is not functioning properly. Proper nasal function...

What you describe may be a symptom called globus.   This is usually caused by  larygophayngeal reflux,  or LPR.   It is very commom.   Have you discussed this with your ENT?   

Since your surgery was only 2 weeks ago you can expect there to be swelling. This can last for months but most of it should be better in 30 days or so. There is no reason to overthink your nose right now. The sensations you are feeling are normal for this point in healing.
