I had a Septoplasty with open reduction nasal fracture and spreader grafts as well as turbinate modification due to a deviated septum accident happened last year. 10 days after surgery Ive noticed the bridge of my nose is much wider and larger in general. Even tho Septoplasty is done internally would this still be due to swelling? Will it eventually thin down or are those due to spreader grafts that were placed? 2 Pictures each before breaking/after break/ after surgery included
Hi, My Septoplasty and Turbinate reduction took place 10 days ago. Since then it feels like its been complication after complication. So far there's been: Perforated Septum during surgery (sutured at the time), Hematoma a week later, Headaches and sore throat from cold dry air. Partial collapse of right nostril yesterday. Should I be concerned that so much seems to be going wrong? Thanks in advance!
I had my surgery 10 days ago and had my nose cleaned 3 days ago at my post op appointment however I'm still really congested to the point of getting really bad headaches that last all day even when I take tylenol for them and today 1 sneezed out part of my stitch. The doctor said it looked good at my appointment and the stitches would dissolve but I'm still concerned
I had a septoplasty and this is my 10th day post op. I have had some crusting buildup inside my nose lately. Can I use a Cotton Bud to remove them by my self? What I was thinking was to dip them in h2o2 and apply it in the crustings. Is this advisable?
I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction 10days ago. The Dr. put dissolvable splints in the exterior area of my nose and said it would take months for them to dissolve. The pain is awful - at the top of each one (see bumps circled), where my glasses rest on my nose, it feels like needles sticking through the skin. I returned for help and got anti-inflammatory meds. 2 days on that and it isnt better. What do you suggest?
I am so fed up. It's day 11 post op and I can't breathe at all through my nose. Also I feel so disgusting the inside of my nostrils (which are quite visible!) are still covered in dried blood and LOTS of supposedly dissolvable stitches. My surgeon/hospital didn't give me any kind of spray/solution and I have been told to simply leave it but I am so fed up and am supposed to be returning to work tomorrow but can't go in as i feel like Frankenstein right now :(
Day 1 & 2 I could eat but it was bland. Day 3 I got a foul smell and taste instead of the foods real taste. Most sweet things like yogurt, fruit, toast aren't so bad but I haven't eaten a meal in a week. It all smells and tastes the exact same. can't be near food and cant walk through town without feeling sick at every smell including cigarettes, perfume so I can't socialise and I've lost a lot of weight already. took antibiotics for ulcers presumed tonsillitis on day 2 also. What's happening :(
I had a septoplasty and diathermy of my inferior turbinates 11 days ago and since one week post op I have noticed that the stitch just inside my nose has puckered up underneath. It is the same colour as the rest of the inside of my nose. It is not oozing or anything that I can tell of and the white dissolvable stitches are sticking out of it. It's not massive but I notice is when looking up my nose. Will this swelling go down? I don't see my surgeon for another 4 weeks.Many thanks in advance.
Hello, I have been having problems with my nose (congestion and sinus infections etc) for about four years now and had a septoplasty and diathermy of my inferior turbinates 10 days ago. I was wondering though is it normal to have no taste or smell in one nostril? If I cover my left nostril I can't taste or smell but I can when I cover my right nostril. This has been like this since well before my surgery but should the surgery have helped this? Many thanks
