Nasal packing is coming out?

October 24, 2013

I can't reach my doctor's office right now since it's too late. It's been >48h post surgery where I had a septoplasty, my nasal bones put back into place, and some other stuff I can't recall anymore. I had bilateral nasal packing put in. I was told it was absorbable. Some of it seems to have come out today and I was wondering if it should have and whether I should be concerned that it came out so soon. The doctor's office made it seem like it would be up there for a lot longer (like a week).
