I had septoplasty 4 wks ago still have stitches in my nose but today my nose was painful and have a yellow open mark. Is it ok?

It often takes more than 4-6 weeks for the stitches to dissolve or go away. Furthermore, you can have mucous, crusting, and discharge on your septum for that time period. It is important to cleanse your nose to prevent buildup of these substances. Good luck. Dr. G.

Leretia - stitches used in the nose after septoplasty should be dissolving, and are typically gone by 4 weeks.  The yellow you see may be the remnants of a moist scab.  In general, I stress that my patients avoid manipulation inside their nose after surgery.  If you have concerns like this, make a follow up with your surgeon for a thorough exam and to make sure you are healing appropriately.Good luck.  Hope you are starting to breathe better!
