How Long Does Swelling Last After Septoplasty?

It’s not unusual for patients undergoing septoplasty to have
prolonged swelling.Most patients will
note significant swelling for about two weeks following surgery. After two
weeks, patients are comfortable resuming their normal lives and going out in
public.Swelling will persist for at
least one year or longer in patients who undergo this procedure.It takes time for swelling to completely
resolve and for this reason patients need to be patient.

Thanks for the question. With an endonanasal septoplasty there should be almost no swelling. If the septoplasty was performed through open approach the swelling can be significant and last as long a swelling from a formal Rhinoplasty 3-6 months. I hope this helps.

For an endonasal septoplasty (closed) there should be virtually no swelling afterwards.  If the procedure was done via an open approach, then swelling is variable and depends on your skin thickness, length of surgery, and concomitant procedures.
