Asked By:barrish85 in Ho Chi Minh

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!
