Hi, Ive had septorhinoplasty+ turbinates reduction. Im wondering if my turbinates were reduced excessively. I can tell that the heads are still the same and there is some left overs of the right tail. Symptoms: chronic rhinitis,runny nose, congestion,poor air sensation(but I think it might be related to the rhinitis), post nasal drip. Dust mite allergy as well. An ENT told that about 60% has been reduced. The coronal view shows that about 80% is gone, But the axial shows that about 50% is gone
Hi Ive got a long list of sinus issues: -Extremely restricted breathing, mainly wise in 1 nostril. The severity varies up and down through the day due to allergies. Constant runny nose and extremely loud nose when I blow. Constant post nasal drip. Constant itchy nose (inside and out). Very bad congestion for about 1 week each month. Feels like I have a full cold. Constant dry and cracked inside of nose. Previous surgery to remove nasal polyps (about 15 years ago)
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 know it's only been a week, but I took a peak and there's a small hole. I'm seeing my ENT/surgeon this Monday, but I'm terrified is a perforation. In reading up, you need an extremely qualified doctor to do this repair surgery and I'm not finding any local. I don't want a button, I want it fixed. How do I ensure I find someone very good, when I can't find anybody at all!? Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I am very freaked. Plus, my insurance doesn't appear to cover any plastic surgeons. Help!!
