Did I ruin my Septoplasty by trying to pick out my splints?

Hello Brooke1026,There isn't much that would be done during your first week after surgery, even if you had tried to pull them out. If you didn't bleed then you are probably alright. Depending on how bad your septum was before the surgery, this could affect where the septum heals in place.  I'd recommend you follow up with your surgeon for a better evaluation.I hope this helps and good luck.  

I appreciate your question and concern regarding your accidental manipulation of your nasal splints so soon after surgery. From your description, is sounds like you did not cause any serious damage or intranasal injury, as you describe no bleeding or significant pain. However, it is best to contact your doctor for an examination. Your physician can then reassure you all is ok or offer an opinion about any post surgery issues as you heal further. Best of luck in your recovery.
