Hi doctor, i underwent septoplasty and outfracture of inferior turbinates 18th February. I have no follow up appointment with my surgeon. But a follow up appointment with ENT doctor on 26 March. Is this normal? It means my first follow up appointment will be 5 weeks after surgery. My surgery duration was approx 25 minutes, had not stents and absorbable sutures. Packing was removed 4 hours after surgery. And advised to do (homemade) saline washes with salt water and bicarbonate soda.
