Asked By:enna_banenna in Brisbane, AU

Surgery 1: septoplasty and turbinate reduction. Splints removed in recovery room. Surgery 2: removal of scar tissue. Packing for 24 hrs. Surgery 3 (14 days ago): revision left nasal surgery. Splints removed in recovery room - was supposed to have splint stitched in place for 10 days but ENT changed mind in theatre. Surgeries over two years. Monthly ENT visits to cut, file, burn, stretch scar tissue but unsuccessful. Follow up today and scar tissue is back. Help! Losing hope...
