I have a small white piece of what looks like bone sticking out of my septum on one side of my nose (the originally deviated side), this side of my nose is also more sensitive and if i lightly touch that side, I can feel it in my whole septum. I have been very careful not to bump my nose and have been sleeping elevated since the surgery, I use q tips soaked in saline to clean the nose and apply antibiotic treatment. Could my septum have shifted on its own and caused the cartilage to expose itself?
I had a septoplasty, turbinate reduction, and nasal valve implants on Dec 19th of 2018 for severe snoring. I am 3 weeks post op and am still snoring a lot. I would like to know how long before I know if this surgery worked or if I need to go back to my ENT for plan B to help with snoring. Thank you so much!
I got a septoplasty + turbinate reduction 3 weeks ago. Surgeon took a look at my nose 1 week ago, it looked normal he said. Big issues with drainage/runny nose everytime i just move a bit. Walking around, etc. This is a problem i am a semi pro cyclist, when i ride its gets very runny. Its like i got a huge production of mucus from the nose... Surgeon said to stop cycling, and any activity. But thats simply not an option any longer given its my profession. Is this normal? and what can i do?
I am 3 weeks post-op, and I have developed very pronounced swelling on the interior of my nostrils near the tip. It is pretty tender, but so is the tip of my nose. The lump itself is quite hard. In the past Piercings have formed keloids, so I asked my surgeon if this is a possibility. He said that keloids dont form on mucus membranes and to just keep using aquaphor to keep the the skin moist. I spent so much money to improve air flow and I am concerned that the lump is reducing it again.
I had a septorhinoplasty just under 3 weeks ago with the cast removed after 7 days. With every day that goes by I can see a bump forming on my bridge which is hard as bone. The rhinoplasty was to straighten my profile (before picture also attached). Im really nervous that the hard bone on my bridge will remain and my profile will no longer be straight. Im really hoping that it reduces (and I know I have to be patient) but it just seems to be getting more pronounced with each day.
A friend of mine went to lift their head as I was looking at them and the back of their head collided with mine causing my nose to bleed for about 10 minutes and I was intense pain afterwards. A day later I still have tenderness and pain and when I rinse my nose with water there's a stinging pain. Plus I think I'm developing bruising where my original deiviation was before surgery. What are the chances I'll need a second surgery to fix my nose??
I had a Septoplasty & Turbinate reduction 3 weeks ago. I'm having night sweats, cold hands, fatigue, and crusting (slight foul odor). I'm rinsing with saline, and am not taking any medication. I saw my ENT & GP Doctor of which a thorough exam was performed, including urinalysis, blood / hormone workup, of which only minor inflammation was found. They do not feel I have an infection. Why am I getting the night sweats and is this anything to be concerned with?
