Answer: Traveling 7 days after a septoplasty surgery It's important to check with your operative surgeon upon what their postoperative instructions are. In our practice we allow patients to travel in that time frame. Patient will be pretty congested for the first week after the surgical procedure.

Answer: Traveling and recovery after septoplasty In general, I tell most of my septoplasty patients that recovery will be around 1 week or so. Most discomfort will be immediately after the surgery and for several days afterwards. Your nose may still be somewhat congested and swollen at 1 week, but this should not prevent you from traveling. However, be sure to discuss this with your surgeon as everyone has slightly different preferences. Good luck!
