Asked By:kirk67 in England, United Kingdom

Hi, I underwent Rhinoplasty & Sepoplasty as one operation in August 2020 and there are a lot of issues that I am facing today since post surgery. Firstly since a week after the procedure I have not been able to smell anything and I thought it was covid related but it has been nearly two years now and has had affected my life so much I don’t know why I haven’t been able to smell anything for this long I’m really worried.

Weird sensation years after Rhinoplasty - should I be concerned?
Oakley Smith, MD, FRCSC says:

Thanks for your question. It depends if the numbness has been there since the surgery. If it is new, it may be unlikely to be related to the surgery 3 years ago, though possible. I recommend seeing your rhinoplasty surgeon who can examine you and determine what the cause of this is.
