After a month of throbbing pain on the left side of my nose with numbness on my left cheek and a feeling of pressure my doctor said it is a nerve in my cheek. Will this go away? Its been 37 days since my surgery. I also have a small visible suture (absorbable) where the incision is an a small area that hurts.
I want to start off saying that I had an deviated septum surgery about 4 years ago. I have a septal perforation on the right side of my nose. It has become big to the point that my right cheek looks a bit flat and the tip of my nose has changed shape. I am having difficulty breathing, dry nose, congestion, pain from time to time, and numbness mostly head area. I am not sure what to do at this point.
The picture on the left was taken 8 months after the revised septoplasty. My doctor claims the shape of my nose has not changed. The nose is in fact, shorter and with an unattractive dorsal hump The tip of my nose is still numb, and my lips seem to have changed shape too. Is this been seen by anyone before? What is the best approach for me to have this corrected? This is my 3rd procedure on my nose
Had Septoplasty + Turbinate surgery about 5 days ago. I'm healing well, and the doc took the packing out a couple of days ago. I also no longer have any gauze/cotton. Just some dried blood and mucus discharge. But I still have some numbness in the roof of my mouth towards the front. But I'm not sure if that should fade away soon or if its a residual, 'permanent' effect and if there's any cause for concern. Thank you!
