After a month of throbbing pain on the left side of my nose with numbness on my left cheek and a feeling of pressure my doctor said it is a nerve in my cheek. Will this go away? Its been 37 days since my surgery. I also have a small visible suture (absorbable) where the incision is an a small area that hurts.
Septoplasty- 05/22/18 A stitch blew in my left nostril yesterday and my left nostril is sore. I notice the left nostril opening is narrowing again. Is the surgery botched over one blown suture? And is it natural for the nostril to narrow post-op? Also- the stitch itself is very hard.
I had a septoplasty 6 months ago after an injury (closed septoplasty, no rhinoplasty). In the past week I found what I thought was a pimple or abscess in the most forward part of my nose. I began picking at it trying to pop it and am afraid it was a piece of a suture (I think they call it tip-defining suture). I cannot say if my nose has changed shape. Are permanent sutures used in septoplasty and if so, has enough time elapsed that scar tissue will support the structure of my nose?
I just got a septoplasty done 5 days ago and i went to go pull some dry blood near the edge of my left nostril and i may have pulled on a suture. The incision looks reopened on the left cause i can clearly see it open and close as i move my nose.
My doctor performed a extracorporeal septoplasty to gain width in bridge for my rhinoplasty. I cant seem to find much info on this procedure, except that it involves taking out the upper lateral cartilage and placing back in. Since cartliage doesnt reattach itself to the bone, how is this area kept in place? Is the centre cartilage somehow reattached to the keystone area? I also hear dissolvable sutures are typically used although what happens once they have dissolved? Thanks you
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 had septoplasty surgery on Friday July 8th. I had mucus and blood coming out of my nose for about 3 days and it stopped. Now I have a bunch of dried mucus blood in my nostrils. 5 days after surgery I was picking at the dried blood/mucus to clear up my nostrils and I accidentally pulled out some sutures that were attached to one of the solidified blood/mucus I had in there. I did feel it when it came out, but otherwise it does not hurt and I am not bleeding. Is this a problem?please help
