I am 4 days post op after having septo-rhinoplasty and I’m not quite sure why, but since having my surgery, I’ve been extremely emotional and anxious not just about the surgery and my upcoming results, but also about my life in general. I am an anxious person normally, but this is an unusually high level of anxiousness for me and I have felt like crying for the past two days. I do not take the pain medication (it makes me too nauseous) , so that cannot be the reason. Is this normal?

Depending upon the type of packing your surgeon chooses to use following your rhinoplasty, breathing through your nose post operatively could be challenging. I prefer the use of nasal splints with airways built into the splints for comfort but packing is still used by many very good surgeons. ...
Two issues presented here. #1. Why are you allowing this event to keep reoccurring? Are you looking to have revision surgery?#2. The chances are you should return to see your chosen operative surgeon for examination of your nose.
Thank you for your question. I would recommend seeing your surgeon just to make sure everything is ok. I think you should be fine but your surgeon knows what he/she did during surgery and would be the best person to advise you. Best of luck to you.
