Do I need a revision surgery or not?

Question

Sir my name is Deepak. I recently a surgery to improve my nasal airway. I was treated for DNS and turbinate hypertrophy.Well there is no deviation now but I can still see the turbinate. My question is will it heal and of normal size or should I talk to my doctor and undergo another surgery. The surgery was done 1 week ago

Berke Ozucer, MD · Answer

hello deepak, the fact that you can see your turbinate does not necessarily mean your surgeon did not execute a good surgery. its 1 week and its very early. sometimes after surgery turbinates that were addressed for turbinate hypertrophy will look temporarily bigger due to swelling + inflammation and sometimes crusting and bloodclotting covering the actual turbinate. please give it some time and have a good communication with your surgeon (will yield better answers than realself q&a because he did the surgery and has endoscope to evaluate your airpassage) a second option would be to take a second opinion from antoher ENT doctor with consultation
so overall answer is yes it will hopefully heal and you'll breath better hopefullyimmediate concern can happen but please please don't think about undergoing another surgeryhope our answers help, good luck, doctor be+
