I recently had a Septorhinoplasty with a turbinate reduction by my (board certified) doctor. Never did I think Id be wondering, post-op, if it were too small and perhaps lacked the amount of structure in the bridge to support it. I dont doubt my doctors capabilities. Im just scared as this is all new to me and am learning that noses that have been operated on can shrink and/or cave in over time. Can this happen to me? Can anyone give me their expert opinion based on my before and after?
I was told by a ent doctor that a septoplasty would be required to fix my deviated septum. My question is will my turbinates be touched during this procedure? from my understanding a reduction or a total removal of the turbinates can lead to empty nose syndrome which i am terrified of
I had Septorhinoplasty two yrs. ago. No issues at that time. Recently I awoke to a severe nosebleed from no trauma. Two days later I gently blew it and again another severe nosebleed that wouldn't stop so I went to the E.R. They referred me to an E. N T. I am wondering if the Septorhinoplasty is to blame since I never had a nosebleed to this level before the surgery. The blood just pours like a faucet from my nose. Very scary.
Hi I have a deviated septum with spur growth blocking my left nostril which makes it difficult to breathe.I am considering septoplasty/rhinoplasty . Although I am very scared of developing a perforated septum as a consequence to this procedure making the original condition worse. Is it common or it completely depends on the surgeon? Is open rhinoplasty better than closed for avoiding septum perforation. What should the surgeon look out for to prevent it from happening in the first place. Thanks
I'm 23 and have chronic sinusitis. Recently took CT scan and report is shown as MUCOSAL THICKENING IN BILATERAL ETHMOID, MAXILLARY AND SPHENOID SINUS. AND DEVIATED NASAL SEPTUM. My doctor going to perform FESS Surgery and Septoplasty next week . Is FESS procedure safe? I saw some sites says it has serious complication because of brain and eyes. I am scared.
