2 months after Septoplasty and turbinate resection and feel no results. Realistically, how long does it take to see results?

November 6, 2014
Asked By:joesalespro in Hollywood, FL

I had septoplasty and turbinate resection surgery 2 months a go. I feel as if this surgery did zilch for me. My Dr. Didn't see any perforation. But, I feel the same as I did the day before surgery. Realistically, how long does it take to see results? Was the surgery a failure? Maybe my allergies? I'm truly frustrated. Can someone please enlighten me? You're reply is much appreciated. Thnx
