Also feels like this side is now much smaller than the other side due to this scar tissue? I thought that septoplasty only involves working in the upper part of the nose? Dr says to give it time (its been 2 and a half months) already but I cant see it getting better- scarring too thick!?
I UNDERWENT Septoplasty and Coablation Inferior Turbinoplasty on 9th March 2018. I am not well till now. My husband complaints of bad rotten smell from my nose.. I too smell the same. I visited my doctor four times after surgery... every time he Endoscopy and explains that there are excessive CRUSTING inside nose. please help...what should I do now ?
Had the surgery on December 20th and splint removed last week. I still cannot smell anything at all and slowly am becoming depressed. I've been routinely cleaning and doing saline sprays. Is this normal?
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 :(
My full sense of smell has not returned following my surgery over two years ago. Is there anything that can be done to get it back? Right now, its as if my nose is stuffed up all the time and I cannot fully taste or smell my food and other things.
I had surgery to correct my deviated septum last week. I got my stents removed today and I can breathe through one nostril while the other is more stuffed up and i cant smell anything. Will this subside? Please tell me this will get better.

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
I had a septoplasty surgery 6 months ago and a bad smell started coming off my nose as of 2 months ago. some infection diagnosed by my surgeon and I went on penicillin for a period of 8 days with no result. another course of penicillin prescribed but the smell came back at the end of period. there is a few bleeding in my left nasal whenever the smell starts. it goes worse whenever I get a bath. rinsing with saline water also doesn't help. please advise what I can do to get rid of the smell?
