2 weeks post op, did my septoplasty fail?

DaanuelMay 13, 2019
It’s two weeks op now and I’ve noticed since getting the splints removed that my septum is still deviated completely blocking my right nostril as it was before. Worried i wasted my time and pretty fustrated about it. It can’t be swelling because I can feel the curve and clearly can see it. I don’t have easy contact with my surgeon as it was done publicly, so have come here for any assistance. Thanks

Hello, thank you for the question and provided information. You have not mentioned about when were you operated, if havent completed at least year after operation you have edema and swelling as a part of your healing, the way it looks might be due to swelling. Best Regards,
