Septoplasty - No packing or splints. Should I be concerned?

July 20, 2016
Asked By:painfulseptum in Calgary, AB

I had septoplasty a few days ago and after the surgery I didn't get to ask the surgeon but later learned from the nurse that no splint or packing was used. Should I be concerned? Do I need to be much more careful as my septum doesn't have support? Thanks.
