Hi im 7 days post op and in 4 days my doc is going to take off the stitches and the splints Today i realised a thick metal stitch coming out of the septum and hitting the nose skin. My question is should i wait 4 days until i go to dr office? And also can a big stitch like that cause septal perforation afterwards? Thank you
I went to my 2 wk post op and everything seemed good. The dr sucked a lot of mucus out and said everything looks like its healing good. Well I blew my nose tonight (I thought this was fine being almost 30 days po) & now I have a stitch hanging a half inch out of my left nostril. At first I thought it was a booger and pulled on it with tissue. I tugged gently and it is still connected somewhere deep in my nose. Should I cut it? I have no bleeding from tugging on it. What should I do?
I had my surgery 10 days ago and had my nose cleaned 3 days ago at my post op appointment however I'm still really congested to the point of getting really bad headaches that last all day even when I take tylenol for them and today 1 sneezed out part of my stitch. The doctor said it looked good at my appointment and the stitches would dissolve but I'm still concerned
Last night I was cleaning my nose as I have since my operation (last week for a deviated septom - septoplasty ) and noticed there were large pieces of dried blood and stiff mucus . I went to gently push it out and instead of it coming out I got a sharp pain and Bright red blood for a minute . There is a stitch hanging out now ... should I be worried ? Is this normal ?
This morning I blew my nose and my stitches came with a large clump of dried mucus. I did not force it and it easily came out. Should I be worried or is this normal? Only reason why I am concerned is because the stitches are meant to dissolve.
I had my devaited septum fixed by the surgeon yesterday. I now have those plastic tubes in my nose & 3 dissolvable stitches I picked at them what I thought where large scabs of blood could they have been stitches
