I had a septorhinoplasty about two months ago and I noticed a very tiny hole where my septum is on the inside of my right nostril (I am not sure how deep it is but it is about the size of a dot mark made by a thin pen) sometimes I notice it makes breathing more difficult when I inhale. Does a hole that size repair itself? Are there any treatments to seal it?
I have a hole in my septum. It doesn't cause me much hassle but it has changed the appearance of my nose - it now has a depression in it and looks almost like 'saddle nose'. Doctors have offered me a septal button to close the hole. I'm wondering if this would improve the appearance of my nose by supporting it so it droops less? Thanks in advance.
I have had it for many years but after moving from WA to a dry climate in AZ, the hole grew. I have seen several ENT's whom have said they don't feel comfortable fixing it and have all refereed me to the same 2 ENT's that specialize in larger septum perforations. They do not accept my insurance and I cannot pay $22,000. I have anxiety because I worry about it collapsing, breathing is difficult through my nose, it hurts, and sometimes bleeds. I am willing to travel anywhere in the USA.
Its embarrassing &upsetting to accept.Everyday Im reminded of what Ive done & cant help but cry. Its uncomfortable,whistles & causes sleeping issues. I would like to get in contact with people have been through what Im going through,did they have surgery, was it successful? I would also like to find some surgeons who have performed these surgeries.I am only 26,I dont know if I am able to live like this for the rest of my life.
I just had my deviated septum and turbinate reduction 2 months ago. Today I went for a post of follow up and he noticed a perforation in my septum. I have whistling noises coming from my nose. He says the hoels is between 1-3mm. He states he needs to do some research to find out if it is to soon to try and repair it. He is concerned if he waits longer it might get bigger. I have no pain,bleeding. Just an annoying whistle and very dry . He did recommend in the meantime nasal gel and saline spray.
Respected doctor, I have a hole in septum because of septoplasty surgery, due to which crusting and blockage of nose hurried me and I frequently drain nasal passages with luke warm salt water added baking soda. I fed up with above process that requires no particular time. I also take medicines like dezacor or deflazacort, solsphre, nasoclear (saline spray), levocitrezen etc., Please kindly sort out my problem for which I shall be grateful to you. thank u sir, murty
I found out around 2 months ago that I have a large perforaton of my septum (around 3.5cm x 1.5cm) that was the result of chronic nose picking when I was younger. I went to my ENT on two occasions since then, and was told that the remaining septum is healthy, and only need nasal gel to treat dryness. My dorsum is also currently stable. No breathing issues. I would like to see from other professionals if you think Im at risk of developing a saddle nose, or if the hole can possibly get bigger?
