Septoplasty

Septoplasty and endoscopic&nbsp;sinus surgery are performed intra-nasally,&nbsp;usually there are no&nbsp;external nasal incisions or sutures. &nbsp;It is always wise to check with your surgeon since there are&nbsp;rare exceptions to this. &nbsp;Recovery after routine septoplasty and endoscopic&nbsp;sinus surgery is around 5-10 days depending on the extent of surgery. &nbsp;If sutures are used inside the nose, they are usually self&nbsp;absorbing and dissolve automatically. &nbsp;If nasal splints are used, a permanent suture is usually placed&nbsp;to secure the splint&nbsp;in place and this is removed by the surgeon at the post op visit.

How much time is taken by a pateint for recovery after these and also what kind of stiches doctor do in these. Do they dissolves automatically.

Will any mark appear on my nose after septoplasty and fess surgery?

In general, so long as there&nbsp;is no change in the external shape of the nose and the nasal passages remain patent, you should hopefully be fine. &nbsp;Nasal trauma following a septoplasty can sometimes cause&nbsp;deviation of&nbsp;the nasal septum, but&nbsp;patients&nbsp;usually have&nbsp;nasal congestion&nbsp;following the injury in these cases. &nbsp;It is always wise to see your surgeon as soon as possible, as you have scheduled. &nbsp;It is&nbsp;unlikely to cause&nbsp;sinus related injury with that level of trauma, although once again it is important to see your surgeon for evaluation. &nbsp;Wish you the best.

I had FESS/Septoplasty back in December (also fixed a nose fracture while they were in there). Today, i was head-butted by my 1 year old son. No “crack” or bleeding but almost felt like a crunchy-type sound. Theres been no bruising or swelling since. Im concerned about reinjury to the septum or a nasal fracture. The head butt wasnt too hard and im likely being hypersensitive. I made an appointment for monday but Am kinda freaking out. Is reinjury likely?

Reinjury to FESS/Septoplasty? I'm concerned about re-injury to the septum or a nasal fracture.

Turbinate reduction is often performed with a septoplasty, however this is determined on an patient by patient basis. &nbsp;It is best to ask your&nbsp;surgeon if your turbinates are enlarged and require surgical treatment. If a turbinate reduction is recommended, it is important to inquire about the technique being used. &nbsp;So long as the mucosal lining of the turbinate is preserved and not traumatized, empty nose syndrome can be avoided. &nbsp;Wish you the best.

I was told by a ent doctor that a septoplasty would be required to fix my deviated septum. My question is will my turbinates be touched during this procedure? from my understanding a reduction or a total removal of the turbinates can lead to empty nose syndrome which i am terrified of

Will my turbinates be operated on during a septoplasty. Scared to death of empty nose syndrome.
