How long till I see results after my Septoplasty? (Photo)

Member3232Dec 21, 2014
I had a deviated septum where you could see my septum up through my nostril. I just got back from the doctor after the surgery and am concern that you can still see my bent septum up through the nostril? How long will this take to go away or should it be noticable right away. He did everything intranasally where he removed a piece of my septum and put a stich at the bottom of my nose? Should I be seeing better results. Thanks for your time!
