I was punched in the nose and Im a candidate for a septoplasty. Severe valve collapse. 100% on one side and 70% on the other. In addition, it caused a dorsal hump on my nose that actually hurts me. When I breathe, it feels like that cold/sore sensation in that area which also causes headaches all the time. I know insurance doesnt cover it, but am I looking at thousands of dollars to shave the hump? Do I have a pinched look nose also? It also leans towards the left now some.
I had surgery to correct a deviated septum and turbinate reduction. I notice when I wash my face etc, a certain part of my cheeks causes a reflex to my nose and I jump. Also a lot of sinus headaches with breathing and sneezing as I live in Texas which is known for the pollen, cedar etc which I assume my nose is getting irritated by...and my lip and btwn my nose & lip area is still sore. I have a post op appt in two days. Is this normal? I am supposed to return to work in a week.
I had my surgery over 2 years ago and my breathing I still great. Clear as it should be. However, I constantly feel like I need to clear my throat. No matter what I do it doesn't help. My doctor said it could be dry mouth do to medication but I do t have dry mouth. My mouth salivates fine. It almost fee like there is a thick mucus that constantly slowly drain in my throats and irritates it. Sometimes I try to clear it so much it ends up getting sore. What in the world is going on? Thanks!
I had septoplasty and rt turbinate reduction 4 weeks ago. Post-op checks went well. Last night, my husband went to hug and kiss me and we hit noses. My nose felt a bit sore but no bruising or increased swelling. Could this have fractured any bones or done any damage to my recent nose surgery? I find I am very anxious when it comes to my nose. I have had other facial plastic surgeries and this has been the worst post-op. Thanks for your input.
I'm a 39 yr old male. Good health, 5'9 about 172lbs. In 2010, I had a septoplasty done. Since, I've always battled with post nasal drip. I've always been under the impression that I had to choose between better breathing & post nasal drip. At the time I felt better breathing was the best choice! Now, I'm constantly clearing the phlegm out of my throat, sore throats, sometimes feels like a lump in my throat, tonsil stones, constant swallowing. Is there another procedure to fix this?!
