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.
I've recently had a septoplasty and now I have a prominent dorsal hump on my nose. The septoplasty was on the NHS for my breathing issues but now the dorsal hump is really really making me insecure and I cannot possibly afford or want a rhinoplasty to fix an issue which shouldn't have even occured. What can I possibly do for this because it is making me very anxious and insecure. Is it possible that the hump will go down or will it have to be removed? Otherwise my nose is now straighter than before.
I had a septoplasy done 4 days ago, Does my nose look like it has been operated on properly ? I had the op done on the NHS in the uk it seem like I have gone thought all of the upheaval of the op and they haven't done it properly I asked the surgeon if he remove much bone from the nasal crest and he looked at me with a gormless expression
I cannot breathe properly through the left side of my nose and doctors have confirmed that this is down to a deviated septum. I have been prescribed medication that alleviates swelling & consequent obstruction when I have an allergic reaction to things but the only thing that will solve the root problem is a septoplasty. As I can get this surgery on the NHS, should I treat it like I would a private surgery - ie, do lots of background checks on the surgeon they assign me and change it if need be?
I would like to know if i can fix the bump on my nose aswell as this? I am getting my operation done by the NHS which means its free of charge as i have been referred through my GP so i would like to know, would i be able to get this bump fixed through the NHS free of charge or is it something that i would have to get done later and pay for it?
I'll be having septoplasty on the NHS next month and I'm meeting with the surgeon in a couple of days, the septoplasty is to repair my deviated septum and I will not be paying for it. I was planning on having rhinoplasty after the surgery to change the shape of my nose for cosmetic reasons, can I combine the two operations and ask the surgeon about paying the doctor myself to do septo-rhinoplasty?
