Used to have a normal nose, now very asymmetrical (no rhinoplasty done). I do not remember experiencing any nose trauma but I started noticing my asymmetry issues about a decade ago (older pictures of me show a perfectly normal nose) & it seems to get worse with time. I did have a deviated septum & had a septoplasty/turbinate reduction in Feb 2019 & was hoping it would help my asymmetry but it didn't at all & seemed to cause some saddle nose I didn't have before.
I had a septoplasty & turbinate reduction done 5 months ago. It seemed to help my mouth breathing as i have better flow out of my right side. But no change on my left side. The air flow is greatly reduced and labored. My ENT said the cartilage had reverted, but he could it again, a more aggressively this time. Do i have a better chance of success a 2nd time or more complications? I am 60 & have well-controlled diabetes, but have noted that i take longer to heal. Also have allergies to cats.
I had a septoplasty about five months ago and I still can not breathe and now my nostril is going kind of sideways and the other one is straight up up before they were going both straight up they were almost even to each other (nothings perfect) but now I have one completely off.
I had a minor deviation of nasal septum and some small cysts in sinuses. The surgeon said that the cysts are not a issue and only septum deviation should be fixed. The intervention went well but it seems that the wounds haven't healed completely even after 5 months. One nostril which was affected by septum deviation is still filled with mucus in the morning and I started to feel some pain in the left part of the nose. I use saline sprays for a long time and 0 effect.
Hi, it's been 5 months since my septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery. Although I have experienced some improvement in my nasal breathing, I'm still congested on the left side of my nose. Taking an oral decongestant pill helps a bit but I'm disappointed the procedure hasn't fully worked by now. During a follow-up, my surgeon says everything healed up nicely but the swelling is causing the congestion. Is this swelling permanent or will it gradually dissipate? Thanks in advance for any advice.
