CLAIM YOUR PROFILEAfter a SeptoRhinoplasty with Turbinate size reduction the airway should return back to normal,even more after 2-3 weeks. It depends where you live of course and the volume of dust exposure the nasal crust can build up and you need to visit your ENT doctor for cleaning.
Since you are 11 months after your surgery and the nose is still not better ,I would advise you to see your doctor again or get a second opinion.
Based on your pictures, an open roof deformation can be seen but it`s hard to tell now.
Septo-Rhinopasty with turbinates is not causing long term pain, there shoud be some other issues.
Overall CT is advised to visualise this region and manage both airways, the open roof and the origin of the pain.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
The ENT surgeon should treat the symptoms and not the CT image.
Since you have a nasal blockage sensation and the nasal steroid trial has not given you any relief ,turbinoplasty is indicated.
On the CT scan ,we can see clearly the lower turbinate markedly blocking the airway and also in the third anterior the turbinate bony framework should also be adjusted, therefore a minimal invasive OPD radiofrequency turbinate size reduction ,isn`t an option in your case.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
The main question here is whether you lost your smell sensation before or only after the surgery?
If you lost it before and despite the maximal conservative treatment plus the surgery, your smell has not returned till now ,it`s unlikely you will get it back.
If the smell has gone after the surgery I would suggest you to take a course of oral steroids , increase the nasal irrigation and apply a nasal steroid. If it still does`t help do an MRI and a proper blood work in order to exclude any other ethological factors.

Dear ,
I`ll be as clear as possible . After a septoturbinaoplasty and adenoid removal if you have had sleep apnoea you still need to have your sleep study done. Silent apnoea could still be present which more often is far worst than the normal one, because you are not even aware of it. Please see your sleep specialist as soon as possible.
After these surgeries the airstream has changed but the AHI index might not have necessary changed.

Usually ,for the dorsum line to reach its almost final shape it takes approximately 6 up to 9 months, and the tip is changing in even longer time .
Facial Plastic Surgeon
It`s too early to say you have ENS. I would suggest you to use only nasal saline twice daily and add some nasal steroid.
It has been shown that antihistamines can improve the nasal airway sensation.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
The main question here is the volume of the bleeding.
If it is only a small amount and mostly dark blood when blowing your nose, then yes,it is normal since the airway capacity has increased and it needs time to adjust.
In case it`s fresh blood coming out on a regular basis than you must have a check up at your doctor. He`ll tell you if any further treatment is needed - like angiogram, sphenoplaatine ligation ....
Facial Plastic Surgeon
The main question here would be whether you had migraines before the surgery or not?
We usually see that,although the attack episodes of migraines can flair up in the first two weeks after a nasal surgery or an intervention has been done .After this, it usually comes back to normal.
If your pain can`t be managed by OVC medication you must see your doctor again.The pain usually settles down as time goes by.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
The ballon sinuplasty is a no invasive procedure at all but in the meantime not very effective at all.
If you are suffering from chronic sinus infection, a proper investigation should be done and maximal conservative treatment should be approached. You should stop smoking and if you have any allergy that should also be assessed at the same time .
If the conservative treatment fails then a proper surgery would be preferable than using only a ballon dilatation. Properly performed sinus surgery has a long term outcome and is much better than just sinus dilatation.
Facial Plastic Surgeon
To goal of the sinus surgery is to reestablish a natural mucus circulation around the sinuses and re-open the natural ostium by enlarging it.
It will not change your allergy, and if you were more prone to flu and other URTI still you will get it but as per what my patients said after the surgery " she blew her nose once or twice and the disease was gone"
Please continue on with the nasal rinsing and if after 6 months the green mucus is still present ,make sure to get a nasal culture and revisit a doctor for the function of the sinus ventilation.

Amazing. Have had a number of operations over the years to resolve breathing, deviated septum, narrowing nostrils, etc and honestly was giving up until I came across Dr. Levente. He rightly diagnosed the real issues and resolved them once and for all. I would recommend consulting Dr. Levente before proceeding with any other treatment as I am sure you will get the best possible advice and care that is right for you, even if that means no surgery is recommended.
I was extremely skeptical and nervous about having my deviated septum surgery, I’ve never had any surgery before so I was reluctantly looking for a surgeon. when I first went to see Dr Levente Deak I went away feeling pleasantly at ease… he listened, he examined and he gave me very straight and honest advice, he instantly reassured me and made me feel so much at ease. I had done a lot of research on many other doctors but in the end I chose him because of his honesty, because he had a proven track record and because he wasn’t just a great aesthetics surgeon but an ENT doctor who understood functionality and aesthetics and how to balance what’s right for YOU He may be a straight talker but he genuinely cares for his patients, he was always accessible and happy to take my last minute nervous calls and took the time to see me as many times as needed post surgery. The training he gives for post surgery self care is also very useful.. I was very happy with the results and am glad I chose him! If you want a professionally and natural results I can certainly highly recommend him
The nose job that I receives from Dr. Levente is excellent.Wonderful experience and a wonderful surgeon!! He takes time with his patient to explain everything he will do in details and listens carefully to what you want exactly! My results are amazing ! He fixed my breathing issues as well gave me the shape i wanted ! Very natural yet very pretty! Exactly as i wanted .. im so grateful that i chose him to do my surgery he is amazing and very kind !
I cannot recommend Dr. Levente Deak enough after my wonderful experience with him having performed a deviated septum surgery along with plastic surgery on my ears. I had a congenital ear deformity which should have been addressed while I was a baby, therefore, performing the surgery as an adult made it more challenging and required much more surgical finesse. Dr. Deak performed both surgeries at the same time, and as he had promised, he delivered brilliant results: a natural look that I love. All my life I have been conscious of my nose and ears, and I cannot express what a transformation the surgery meant in my self-perception and my confidence! I followed his instructions closely, had a very smooth recovery time, absolutely no issues whatsoever. I had several appointments with him and his team, both before and after the surgery, and he was just fantastic explaining everything, answering all my questions and handling all my concerns with utmost professionalism. He has a very kind and calm demeanor and he listens very carefully, and his assistant, Karen, is truly gentle. Basically, Dr. Deak totally changed my life, as simple as that, and I am profoundly grateful. Thank You, Dr. Deak, from the bottom of my heart!
Very professional from the first consultation till aftercare. Originally wanted to change my nose shape but as an ENT specialist Dr Deak discovered my nose was broken before in 2 places, and by fixing this and doing minor adjustments, I now have a perfect functional. Didn't know breathing was this easy. I had no pain after the surgery.
I was very scared, sceptical and uneasy about the surgery as I’d never had any surgeries done before. However, I must admit it really exceeded my expectations. I had hardly any bruising overall and felt fine as soon as the 2nd day and even moved house 2 days after I had the surgery. I didn’t even take time off work, and worked from home on day 4. What I’m the most pleased about is that it looks very natural. Swelling keeps going down - it’s been a month since I had my surgery and recovery progress has been great. A friend found Dr Levente’s details on a beauty forum and after I did some research, I contacted him for a consultation. Really happy I went ahead with it, it’s something I’d been considering for a while but I wasn’t brave enough and didn’t trust anyone to technically reconstruct my face! Really glad to find a professional doctor who I felt I could trust. I’ve even referred my partner to go for a consultation as he has some nasal/ breathing issues.
I chose Dr Levante primarily for my rhinoplasty as he is an ENT surgeon. My consultation was swift and Dr Levante also advised for a natural look which suits my face. He is very professional and efficient. The staff at Valiant Clinic were very supportive. I was pleasantly surprised with zero bruising and a a quick recovery. It has been 6 weeks post surgery and I am realistic about my expectations as swelling reduces slowly but very pleased with my results. I recommend to anyone thinking of doing a natural rhinoplasty in Dubai.
Every day I am happier to have been lucky enough to meet Dr. Levente. From the very first moment he understood perfectly what I was looking for. It draws my attention not only for its professionalism but also for its closeness and human treatment; I felt at home since the first moment! The result could not be more successful; naturalness and harmony are the words that come to mind every time I look myself in the mirror. Thank you very much Doctor Levente!
I wasn’t alive until Dr. Levente do for me the nasal operation, couldn’t breath from my nose almost all my life and couldn’t smell either.. the surgery was done on 2017 and kept washing my nose daily from that day until now.. the same of brushing my teeth and looking after my health.. really thanks . Please anyone is suffering from their nose and breathing or smelling go to Dr. Levente
Dr Levente is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He answers every question and gives advices on which procedures will make you look your best, yet balanced and refreshed and which products are right for your face and skin. Botox I did in the past was always causing my skin to bruise, while with Dr Levente I had no bruises at all at any area of my face. He is highly recommended, and his nurse Karen is extremely helpful at all times with all additional inquiries you might have.
