Hi I am 52 and ready to go through Septoplasty, Turbinate reduction, Ethmoidectomy, and Maxillary Antrostomy with tissue removal. No packing or splints will be used and this is bilateral. Im so congested now before surgery with 2 obstructions. Will I have even a little air flow through my nose right after surgery? The next day? I can deal with pain and congestion. I just need a little air flow. Thank you.
I had a revision rhinoplasty done a month ago and i discovered i have a perforated septum im the back part of the septum. Would a septoplasty help fix this problem? I heard whistling 48 hrs after having the splints removed but thought it was just from the swelling or nasal obstruction but i had a big booger come out the other day and saw some blood clots in it and did a some investgating with a light and saw the light through the other nostril
I recently had a septoplasty done and was informed he had stitched splints in to my nose, now I was trying to remove the blood clots in my one nostril and it got stuck so Im no longer sure if it was a blood clot or the splint that was stitched in to my nose. It was thick and black like the rest of my clots, but was the only one to get stuck. Is there a possibility Ive moved the splint?
I am on day 6 and just went to get the splints out of my nose today. Now my nose feels so crusty inside. I can't stand it, so I have been picking the dried blood and crusts out of my nose (often attached to nasal hair - so it hurts). Is this bad to do? If so, why? What can I do instead? My doctor did not give me instructions in regards to touching my nose.
Had a septoplasy and turbinate reduction 6 days ago. Visit my ENT 2 days ago to have the splints removed and said everything looked good for 4 days. I am now have bad headaches that go from my temple to the middle of my forehead and random throbbing under my eye. Is this normal or should I contact the ENT again tomorrow?
I had packing of gauze after the surgery that was removed 24 hours later, the pain was too much. I remove the splints next Sunday and I worry about the pain, is there anything I could do to minimize the pain while the splints are being taken out?
Its fat and big. It also hurts a lot and is tender to the touch (all which I know is common). Its just the size of it right now, are the splints the reason why my nose hasnt reduced in swelling yet? Im feeling unsettled and just need to know if my nose is going to return back to its shape. Ive attached a picture of my swollen nose as of right now and my nose prior to surgery. I would love some information and support on this.
I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction 10days ago. The Dr. put dissolvable splints in the exterior area of my nose and said it would take months for them to dissolve. The pain is awful - at the top of each one (see bumps circled), where my glasses rest on my nose, it feels like needles sticking through the skin. I returned for help and got anti-inflammatory meds. 2 days on that and it isnt better. What do you suggest?
Im really really worried I messed something up will I be okay?? Im really freaked out because I can fully see them on this right side like the whole thing but not at all on my left and ima fraud its something I did and it will make my nose heal crooked. I was messing too much with my nose it had felt like I have a clump of blood stuck in my right side and Im afraid I moved the splint ?
