Hi, I am hoping you can give me some advice. I have a deviated septum and have been recommended to have a septoplasty with turbinates and tonsils removed at the same time. My question is this - can I have my turbinates and tonsils out in a second operation 2 months after my septoplasty? and for closed surgery, can the ent shave some of my nasal hump off, or would this be considered cosmetic surgery? Many thanks
Had the surgery on December 20th and splint removed last week. I still cannot smell anything at all and slowly am becoming depressed. I've been routinely cleaning and doing saline sprays. Is this normal?
I have a 3D scan from my dentist..see below. My symptoms include: tiredness during day, headaches after 8 hours of sleep, congestion, and pressure. Also I take Flonase daily. Went to an old school ENT and he recommended taking my tonsils out?!?
My full sense of smell has not returned following my surgery over two years ago. Is there anything that can be done to get it back? Right now, its as if my nose is stuffed up all the time and I cannot fully taste or smell my food and other things.
I had a septoplasty, tonsillectomy, and tissue removed from my inner nasal cavity and sinuses about 2 months ago. All of a sudden, I'm starting to notice a severely disgusting smell that's located inside my nose and frequently, when mucus seeps down to my throat, I can smell it coming from there as well. That smell is the only thing I can smell. What can be the cause of this? I called my doctor and he just prescribed antibiotics over the phone. What else can it be? Why does it smell so bad?
