My doctor didn't recommend a CT or bone break for my septoplasty. I still had breathing issues post surgery so I got a CT for another reason and it was noted my septum is still crooked. Would this be a failed septoplasty? When I asked the doctor (after he told me it was straight I showed him the CT scan) how to fix it he said bones needed to be broken so isn't that a failed septo if he didn't fix it in the first surgery. He said I didn't need bones broken, now I do?
I had a really bad fall over a year ago and got a septoplasty done the same week I broke my nose. Ive waited a little bit over a year to make sure I was fully healed and now I cant breathe out of my nose and I feel constant pressure and pain in my eyes and head when I went to the doctor he said I had swollen polyps and that it had nothing to do with the surgery even though the pain hasnt gone away since and my snoring got worse and my septum is still deviated did the surgery fail?
I got a septoplasty back in June. Doctors said it was successful and that I should be able to breath normally. It went well weeks post-op but then I got what I thought was a cold. And I havent been breathing normally since. I noticed my left nostril was smaller than my right. And now looking it at it is completely blocked by the septum. So my septoplasty not only failed but also made it worse. I REALLY would rather not go through the surgery again, especially after it failed. What do I do?
Hi I had a septoplasty with turbulent and adenoids removed Four months ago and it has been bothering me quite a bit I went in to see the surgeon and he said that the surgery failed basically and it needs to be redone I was a four plus and now am a two plus but was a zero right after surgery I'm really confused as to how that happened and how often it happens
I have had two surgeries for my deviated septum. The first surgery was to repair both nostrils - which failed on both sides. A year later I had a second surgery that resulted in one side still blocked. It has been over a year since my second surgery and I really don't want to go back for a third, but it is very annoying having the constant feeling something is stuck in my nostril. I had the first surgery at 19 and am now 21.
Septoplasty has failed twice. It was originally deviated to the right, and after the surgery deviated to the left. Also, part of the cartilage in my nose had collapsed, so I went back in for a second surgery to get the grafting to my nose, and another septoplasty. It has once again failed, and I cannot blame it on swelling, because it has been a year since my second surgery. If there is such a high success rate, why am I breathing 95% in one nostril and 5% in the other?
My surgery failed about a month after I had it done. Now my nose is worse than it was before I had the surgery. I have no idea how it collapsed so fast after surgery but I had the impression it was going to fail because my outer skin was really stretched around my septum putting a lot of pressure on it. This made things uncomfortable especially when I would smile and laugh. I was wondering if this could have been responsible for the septoplasty failure.
Hi, it's been 5 months since my septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery. Although I have experienced some improvement in my nasal breathing, I'm still congested on the left side of my nose. Taking an oral decongestant pill helps a bit but I'm disappointed the procedure hasn't fully worked by now. During a follow-up, my surgeon says everything healed up nicely but the swelling is causing the congestion. Is this swelling permanent or will it gradually dissipate? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hi I had a septoplasty 1 year ago, but my breathing is worse than before, there is almost no mucus in my left nostril anymore and I breathe very hard and I need to moisturize constantly. In addition, the inside of my nose can now moves. t was never like this before When I try to pick my nose, the Middle part moves and bends to the other Side. I hate this feeling and it doesnt feel right Can you tell me what I am experiencing ?should I worry? Is it normal to move?
