Septum Bowing 24 Hours After Stents Are Out.

Question

I had stents taken out 10 days after the septoplasty. 24 hours later the septum is bowing significantly and I can feel the pressure from the bow. Do they put stents back in to correct that? I'm concerned it will keep moving.

Too early, you are swollen. But if the swelling is that great you need to see  your doctor to make sure it is only swelling,

George Commons, MD (retired) · Answer

You need to go and see the doctor that did your surgery.  I am not sure how you know your septum is bowing.   I am not sure what sensation you might have that makes you so certain of a bow.   You need to go and see your doctor and see what is real and what is not.   This is an important question you ask but also a question which has but one answer.  Please go and see your doctor today.  My Best,  Dr C
