I am getting rhino-septoplasty done in a few months and trying to prepare for the worst :( I'm mostly worried about the IV going in my hand and the stitches being removed after the surgery? Thanks!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Pain Although every patient is different, rhinoplasty/septoplasty surgery is general more uncomfortable than painful. I actually broke my nose playing rugby in medical school and had it repaired as a resident. The most uncomfortable part of the recovery for me was the first two days when I had a little pack in each nostril. This was mostly due to a dry mouth as you could not breathe through your nose. Once it was removed, it really started feeling better pretty quickly, although it was a little sore to touch for the first 2 weeks.Most of my patients after surgery look back and say that it was much easier than they had anticipated.

Answer: Post op rhinoplasty pain It is unusual to have any significant discomfort following rhinoplasty surgery. Make sure to follow all of your surgeons instructions carefully both before and after the surgery.
