Should I be worried about the number of complications from my septoplasty and turbinate reduction?

Question

Hi, My Septoplasty and Turbinate reduction took place 10 days ago. Since then it feels like its been complication after complication. So far there's been: Perforated Septum during surgery (sutured at the time), Hematoma a week later, Headaches and sore throat from cold dry air. Partial collapse of right nostril yesterday. Should I be concerned that so much seems to be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

Sorry you are having so much trouble.  The issues you describe are unusual.  If you are concerned, a second opinion might be in order.
