Risks, Complications and Aftercare for a Nose Operation
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2024
- Having a septoplasty operation can be quite worrying and I believe people need to completely understand how the operation is performed, what the risks and complications are and finally what we should do before and after the operation. In this video I pretend you are my patient and I explain this operation to you.
I hope you find it useful.
Things I normally prescribe after this operation
Simple painkillers
amzn.to/3QC0uKL - NeilMed Sinus Rinse
amzn.to/3AwoCsN - Nasal Steroid Spray
amzn.to/3dz5e5b - Hypertonic Sterimar
Naseptin / Bactroban nasal cream / ointment

I got my surgery done yesterday and I didn't get half as much explanation as I did from watching your video. My surgeon spent a total of 2-3 minutes talking to me. Thank you this was very informative.
I completely relate. Wish I would have watched this video prior to surgery.
Hope it went well. I’m having it done in 3 days so I’m watching videos like this I’ve after the other.
@@samwitt1984 bro how are you. Is it has increased your breathing .
I just had mine yesterday and same exact as you. just a quick rundown of what to expect. I went to my followup today to "learn" after care with saline rinse, but we forgot to go over that.. lol, so thats why I am here on youtube searching how and then found this gem. 1 month later, are you back to 100%?
Brilliant video!
Had a septorhinoplasty done last Friday, absolutely life changing. My ability to breathe has never been this good
lucky you--I got the same operation and got Empty Nose Syndrome. I am glad at least some people see a benefit.
What is empty nose syndrome
@@stacyboedigheimer1288 is it any better? Or is it worse than before surgery?
@@stacyboedigheimer1288 please take care of yourself 💝
Very informative. I am a plastic surgeon and I think I will ask my patients to see this video to know what to expect! Very well done and comprehensive doc
Thank you very much in taking the time to make this video much appreciated ❤
Hi Doctor, really appreciate the information provided in this video, it relives some of the stress I'm feeling 3 weeks out from the surgery.
I've been watching dozens of septoplasty videos on TH-cam. They are invaluable, as they offer first-hand accounts of patients' experiences, but your video was extremely helpful. You gave me several more questions to ask my ENT before I make the decision to proceed with the surgery.
One of the best ENT docs
I had it done in the UK 18 months ago. Best thing I ever did. No pain AT ALL after
How it is now brother any issue after surgery please reply
@@syedsahil1455 did you do it bro?
Had my septoplasty done 5 days ago. Was terrified after reading comments but it was no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be. The first night after surgery was obviously unpleasant. Didnt sleep a wink. The worst conjestion you could ever imagine and a sore throat from the breathing tube they put in while under GA. First 2 to 3 days feels like you've got a very bad cold whilst being punched in the nose. But it started to clear up a bit after day 3. Had no bleeding at all since i left hospital and not much pain. Couple of more days ill be back to work! Dont worry people, its uncomfortable but not that bad.
Please share the benefits that you got after the surgery.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words, surgery can be scary
I think the sore throat worries me the worst?
Is it really painful?
Excellent video. I much prefer your approach than the sales job videos. I hope I can find a doctor like you.
Wonderful video Dr. Veer. So helpful. You are a credit to your profession. Videos like this are invaluable for patients. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video …. It’s one of the best I have seen in recent times.
So helpful. Put my mind at ease for sure. Thanks!
Thank you incredibly useful information. I really appreciate it. Scheduled for surgery at Mayo in Jacksonville Florida next month.
Very informative video. You are a great teacher as well as a great surgeon 😊
You really should teach! Loved this video and you explained 100% more than my surgeon did before this surgery
Wow! That's the most informative briefing I ever had from a surgeon....too good man! God bless you and your patients.🙏
Thankyou doctor, u boosted up my spirit to get myself operated by giving me end to end information what I needed . Thankyou so much.
Im having my surgery in 4 days and no one, including my Dr, has taken the time to explain the operation process to me. This has really helped me sir and I'm going to mention this the morning of the surgery to the staff about explaining to me what the procedure is like and what can I expect afterwards. THANK YOU SO MUCH.😮
Very helpful video! Thanks!
Wow! This video really helped me a lot. I had a pituitary tumor so they had to go through the left side of my nose and pull tumor through, and now I have the blue stints in. I get them out Thursday . I been keeping my nose clean using the peroxide and ointment . Thank you
Hi doctor, great video, very well informed.
Sharing my own post-operation experience:
I had a stand-alone RFA turbinate ablation. Sadly, the ENT who performed the operation ablated too much on my right inferior turbinate, which resulted into a mini-empty nose syndrome (read bellow, my nose is healed now) which happened due to the turbinate bone getting exposed. The ENT did not ablate the back of my inferior turbinates, so the improvement is minimal. I did everything right in terms of post-op visits to the doctor, using nasal anti-bacterial ointment and so forth. Post-op there was some moderate pain (5-6) to my front teeth.
The next ENT surgeon I visited prescribed lubrication for 6 more months (* Used nasogel but rinopanteina drops / ointment did it for me) for my turbinate to heal, now we can perform the ablation again in about November. Thankfully, the bone now isn't exposed anymore, my mucosa is healing up nicely, there was also a complication due to long-term usage of nasal steroids, I had a small hole (start of perforated septum) in my septum, which too is healing now since I lubricate the area.
The operation took place on 14/04/2022, now, 19/08/2022 I am much better, but will need to repeat the operation as I mentioned above.
Finally, I am glad that I've met a surgeon who was more than willing to explain and didn't rush for an operation.
I've tried everything, from nasal steroids to nasal rinsing, breathe right and other nasal dilators, even used vicks aromatherapy, these things didn't work for me.
My word of advise, interview your doctor thoroughly, thankfully, I settled to an experienced ENT who listened thoroughly.
I would like to thank dr. Veer, your videos have been both informative and comforting, from learning how to use steroid sprays the right way, for helping me understand how manage post-op pain after tonsillectomy.
Hey, I just had a septoplasty and turbinoplasty myself. Wanted to talk some more about your experience. Please let me know how I can contact you.
Thanks for this, Doc
I’m five days out and wish I’d seen this video before my surgery. The detailed explanations are invaluable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Why would you say that? Any thing you did wrong!
I love your straightforward approach. Snot, lol...I wish you had a practice in the U.S., as I'm doing research for a procedure I will need shortly. Very detailed and concise explanation.
I've had 2 surgeries in the past 5 years (accidents), and I do excellently. I heal quickly. Have never smoked, don't drink. Thinking out loud here, doing a mental checlist 😅. Again, love the detail!
Cheers!!
Excellent and informative as always. I've been waiting to get this done to correct a deviated septum over in South Wales for about 4 years now, thanks to Covid, but at least I now know what to expect, especially as I'm a CPAP user. Very much appreciated!
Glad to help
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon doctor i have listened from many people that these polyps and turbinates can grow again after surgery and then again operation is needed but their is alternative method through laser removal etc. Is it true or not.
Thank you so much for making this highly informative video. I had a septoplasty 20 years ago, and the surgeon outfractured and cauterized my inferior turbinates. I’m now in the process of finding out if I have sleep apnea, and my pulmonologist told me I have a deviated septum. This explains why my right nostril collapses when I inhale through my nose. I wish I could travel to the UK and have you fix everything so I could breathe properly again. Meanwhile, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying your videos and learning a lot.
my pleasure! I'm sure you'll find someone near you to get this sorted
My actual sugeron never went into detail like this at all. Thanks for this doc! I just had my septioplasty yesterday
Please share what kind of improvements do you notice after the surgery
Hi how r you feeling now
Excellent video Vik - had my surgery last week. Remember take it easy and yes still swilling out the nose.
How do you feel after 1 year? How was your experience brother?
Absolutely helpful watching this video. I've currently on day 11 of recovery from nasal septoplasty, most of the advise I was provided by my consultant mirrored your advise in this video. I've had a deviated septum for 2 x years and my GP fobbed me off with hay-fever issues! I look forward to recovering fully!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m on day 9 post septoplasty with turbinate reduction and 2 days post splint removal. Felt great briefly for most of the day after splints came out but it got stuffy and hard to breathe as I slept. Will this get better and settle down over the next 4-6 weeks ?
@@Remi-bt7tp Hi there I heard that’s very normal for that to happen and yes it should be clearing up for you in less than four weeks. I’m having the same exact surgery in 15 days on February 9. I’m a little nervous but thank you for sharing.
@@starrfishhillhow was it bro?
Such a good video, thank you. So clear and thorough. Very helpful.
just got the surgery done 2 days ago. thanks for this. my doc was in and out leaving me clueless, all he said was dont blow your nose. i appreciate this
How were the last 6 months bro after the surgery?
Thank you its very informative. I am getting a revision septoplasty next week and I did not even know that i need to stop using otrivin and that I can use cpap after surgery. Too many assumptions that were clarified by your video. Thank you
I am day 8 into my recovery. I was so pleased to watch all your videos on the deviated septum. You mentioned everything I have been experiencing. I still am crusting up so logic tells me I should continue with the nose wash. I am having trouble sleeping still. I also have mild sleep apnea.
Such a great video!!!
Day 3 of my septoplasty. It’s highly uncomfortable but very manageable. And honestly, im feeling the benefit even in the midst of recovery
Can you breath out your nose ? Did you have it done in UK
@@richardgallagher121 Hey! No I got it done in Puerto Rico. And yes ever since I woke up from surgery I was able to breathe through my nose, granted with some difficulty and pain. When I say that I feel the benefits, it’s because I literally felt air through spaces in my nose that I didn’t before. For me the worst part is those days that you have the splints inside because you will feel the pressure of the splint and that will make it harder to breathe because as much as we want to clean them, you will never be able to clean them enough. In two days it’ll be 3 weeks post op. I welcome any other questions you may have. Happy to share my experience with this.
Yeah! The first 3 or 4 days are absolute hell! Godspeed sibling 💪
@@felipevisbal1414do you think you could've returned to work 12 days post op? That's the time table I'm working with if I do it
@@felipevisbal1414 how do you feel now overall
Getting my stents removed tomorrow had surgery last Friday wow I wished I came across this video.. so amazing
How was it bro? How was your experience of after the surgery ?
great info really helped me post op after my septoplasty
I just had this operation and found your video very helpful thank tou😢
Please share all the benefits that you got after this surgery. I am thinking about getting this done. It feels like sleep apnea is killing my brains.
Great video and explanation. Im having this surgery in two days and i am anxious about it. Particularly the pain afterwards and for the first few days. I took a week off from work. I hope it is enough.
Thanks again for the Clear explanation.
How was it brother? How has the last year been?
Just got Septoplasty and turbine reduction today. I will be taking all your advice thanks
Very informative video thank you. I’m booked in to have this op in a few days time
Just found this video. I’m 2 weeks post op from my septoplasty along with total ethmoidectomy, and maxillary antrostomy after a 4 month long sinus infection. I’m so grateful to my surgeon because my nose was in terrible shape after multiple childhood fractures and is straight for the first time in 20 years. Virtually no pain, no complications.
Just had this done on Thursday, there is a burning sensation after surgery but it goes away after a few hour, I have stents in my nose and did try to do a rinse, bad idea lol, my surgeon said I could try it, but he didn't think it would be useful and he was right. I'm waiting for him to take those out and do his thing.
Overall I feel fantastic, 1st time in 2 months that there's 0 pain or sinus pressure. Sinuses are clean, and my nose is gonna be open I am excited for the future.
Great explanation. I had a septoplasty and smd last Friday and it's like 8 days now I'm not fully recovered but i hope i will soon
Thank you for this video Dr. Veer! I got my surgery done today and I was starting to freak out but this video calmed me down. Your soft, calm voice paired with your knowledge and detailed explanation did the trick. Now I’m off to call my CPAP company to send me a different mask to use during recovery. Thank you Dr!!!😊😊😊
This was so so helpful and such a good explanation. I just had a septorhinoplasty and was wondering what I need to do for cleaning it out. My surgeon didn’t tell me anything.
Hey did they do valve repair ??
I want to do same surgery
Did they do turbinate reduction too
On day 5 after having Septoplasty and Turbinate reduction. First few day were a little sore but it’s getting better. I have the splints in which are quite uncomfortable, my front teeth are still numb too. Thanks you for all the information it was very useful.
I'm day 3 post surgery and my front teeth and top of palette are so numb and sore. Have you experienced any progress in healing in this area?
I had a septoplasty and turbinates done one day post op I’m not too bad the splints/packing in my nose are very uncomfortable bit sore and little bit of bleeding I get the splints out in about a week and I can’t wait
Please share all the benefits that you got after this surgery. I am thinking about getting this done. It feels like sleep apnea is killing my brains.
Just did it. Very helpful video. Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for the detailed information on septoplasty. I undergone the same on last Friday. My surgeon also advices me to clean the nose thrice a day and recovering fine just a little bit swelling inside the nose. Hopefully I'll be rejoining the office from coming Monday.
How do you feel now since it's around 3 months
I wish you could come to the United States then I would definitely have this surgery which I do need because of a deviated septum from the age of 10 from an injury. As I got older, it gets worse (sinus infections, constantly blowing my nose, nasal drip, etc.) I can breathe through my nose quite well though. But when I look up ENTs in Arizona, they all have very bad reviews and they do not have any bed side manners. You explain everything so well and you have a great personality and no doubt a great surgeon.
Thank you so much for this absolutely fantastic and informative video! Cheers!
This video is incredible!!!!
I have a deviated septum for over a year now with every day blood crusting. I know I need to have the surgery as recommended but I’m so nervous. I want to thank you very much for explaining everything in such great detail.
What are your plans now?
@@Rishi2015 yeah
@@krishn7513 bro what about you
That was extremely interesting. Thank you.
Thank you this was helpful. God Bless.
Another idea for a vid.... Impact of different means of OSA reduction.
1. Weight loss - up to 44% reduction compared with baseline.
2. Oral appliances - 60.25% reduction
3. Bariatric surgery - 71.11%.
4. CPAP - I couldnt find the data.
Thanks for this video. Really helpful x
Useful info. Thanks for sharing.
Very good explanation. Thank you.
Veer!! You are really awesome, explaining my nose problem cause (can not breathe normally) clearer than my stolid doctor...
I had this done 3 days ago. This is the first time I've not had a headache. I have the splints in which are irritating and annoying, but I will get them out this Tuesday (thank God!). Thank you for this info. I did get some saline spray and a flush bulb to rinse out my nose. I'm also using sterile filtered water as I've heard tap water isn't safe.
I’ve had 2 septoplastys and my left nostril is still blocked it’s like my left septum is swollen I’m now suffering with tonsil stones probably from nasal drip and also snore and think im getting sleep apnea, your video is amazing wish i had good consultant as good as you
Why is it happening? What did the doctor said of what to do now
Thank you! I'm freaking out as I have been sport training and weight lifting.. I'm afraid the recovery will take to long to get back. 😢
I love the way you describe and explain everything. Just how a doctor should interact with his/her patients. Amazing Sir.
I wonder what differences this surgery has between there in the UK and the US? I'm in the United States but find your expertise to be the best I've seen.
Hi Chuck, please look at Dr.Benjamin Cilento…. I’m in Houston. I’m not quite sure where you’re located. This guy is amazing. I did my research and I’m having the deviated septum and the turbinate reduction in 15 days February 9. This guy is awesome.
You don’t say what to do after you spray, the Afrin, do you let it run down your throat and swallow it or ….? I don’t understand after I spray it, do I take a Q-tip and clean my nostrils out I just want to know what to do after I spray the Afrin?? Help somebody 😮
Afrin is for the bleeding. I just got mine done. Waiting to get splints out. Been using AYR 4 times a day 6 puffs each nostril. Then Bactrian cream. Hope this helps. I know it’s hard and stressful.
I am a normie and this is an excellent video and explanation
Thank you for this video as I was also told I have a deviated septum I’m soooo not doing any type of surgery that’s going to mess with my nose!🙌🏾🗣️🙌🏾🗣️♥️♥️♥️
I do suffer with sinus congestion but I’m on Flonase and Zyrtec so I rather deal this way than the other way
Thank you Once again for this informative video and break down♥️
Best informative video, Thanks.
So much more informative than what was communicated to me before and after my surgery. Thanks for doing this.
Thank you so so much for this video! The amount of anxiety I am having about this surgery is crazy but you explained it so well! It’s my first time going into surgery but being that it’s very simple and performed so often I know I’ll do just fine!! Again thank you for the video I appreciate you!
How did it go?
@@richardwheelerrwits very minor and easy surgery

I just had my revision septorhinoplasty. My 1st septoplasty failed. Can’t wait for my stents to get taken out.
Excellent , outstanding , thank you , how long before one can do Gymnastics or calisthenics
Got it done a month ago, surprised how quick the recovery was. Not 100% there yet but I feel most of the way recovered. A really great decision.
How do you feel now Chris? Looks like its been a few months already
Im one week PO i still cant breathe ? Is this normal?
@@aureliocasillas7363it can be, yes. Better now?
Hi , I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction 11 days ago and now I have read about empty nose syndrome and scared I might end up with this , is this something your familar with?
@@aureliocasillas7363 how about now 2 weeks later?
Hi Doc. That was very illuminating. I have a question, the answer to which i cannot find anywhere on the web. I am a choir trainer and a 22 year old pupil of mine just had this procedure done as he had difficulty breathing through one nostril. The procedure was successful and he now has a straightened septum. He now finds that he cannot hold his breath like he used to. This is essential for singing and he is quite upset that he might not ever be able to sing properly again. How is this caused by a septoplasty? or is it something that will fix it self with time. Do the Turbinates play a role in holding your breath? Could it be that the altered nasal passages are now open because the Turbinates that might be deformed or small due to the initial deviation of the septum, are now unable to help him hold his breath? Any information you could give us on this paticular side effect would be much appreciated. Thank you.
I'm on my 3rd week AFTER surgery. My surgery was a Septal Reconstruction + Bilateral inferior Turbinate Submucosal Resection. Basically my Septum was corrected and my Turbinates were shrunken because they too, were making it hard to breathe. Packing wasn't necessary because my ENT specialist doesn't like the bacterial concern so he uses 4% Cocain and 1% Lidocain for bleeding.
Saline rinses with clean (boiled and the chilled water) changed the game during the first 2 weeks and using clean Q tips to coat Bacitrocin gel throughout my nasal cavity (deep) to keep dried blood from crusting and blocking my airway during healing.
Felt no pain after the 1st day. It was wonderful he did an excellent job. After 10 days my post op doctor cleaned out the inside of my nose with what looked like a micro dental suction tube and that helped alot, I wasn't using enough Bacitrocine and had gunk up there. After that I was able to breathe great. I still use the rinse but not as frequent and I don't need the gel as much. I look forward to the next post on apt and see where I am!
How are feeling now? I had the same cleaning last week but after that I got fever and a saviour throat infection. A thick mucus comes out of my left nostril which I need to clear forcefully because it blocks air passage. I m hoping that everything will fine after some days. Dealing with so many complications post surgery though I am able to breath now!!! Suggestion pls?
Now I am scared. I am 67. At 5 I put a crayon up there and a doctor thought he pushed it into my esophagus. Nope. At 25 I nearly choked on this horrible looking thing, reading in bed, as he literally pushed it up into my sinus where it sat growing into sinus cavities for 20 years. (My formative years.) I was given a number to see another ENT outside my area as they said I need a specialist after my CT scan. My right side is completely blocked now. I pray I will smell again one day.
Thank you So much Dr for a very useful and informative video! I did mine two weeks ago and the doctor asked me to apply Vaseline inside my nose to keep it moisturised. I have done so for about 8 days only. Do you think it is necessary to keep doing it or not? Many thanks again Dr!
Great video, I got a pretty nice deviated septum and one hypotrophied contra-lateral turbinate. I am looking for a surgeon like you that doesn't use the splints, but seems like all in my area are using splints... It's the only way I would get it done.
Do they give you a nose job with this surgery too? I heard they do two in one….also I just found your channel! You are brilliant. Wow. So educated
Mr Veer you performed my septoplasty & turbinate reduction in March, this greatly improved breathing, I had some infection after but the salt water flush aftercare helped a lot. I am still eagerly waiting news of the throat procedure we spoke of to really improve quality of sleep. Thank you, One legged welder
What I really like about Vic, is that he does Septoplasty on local when some other hospitals do it on General!
And one legged welder. You only have 1 leg?
Where did you have that done as he works in a few hospitals the one in Romford or?
I'm in Kent 🙋♂
What throat procedure?
Thanks for the info. I don't think I want to have that done. You just talked me out of it. Thank you for your honesty.
I'm glad it helped you make up your mind. Only have an operation when you are 100% sure.
@@VikVeerENTSurgeon I had a big toenail removed 12 days ago and a new trainee bandaged my toe too tight and cut off the circulation for 48 hours. Now I'm losing skin and tissue because it was cut off from the blood supply, it's now infected, 12 days later it's still mostly numb but the part that isn't numb hurts like hell. Now I have to go to a wound care specialist. If you can have a bad outcome on a toe then what if that would have been my nose and my sinuses. I'm not ready to dive into any more surgeries right now so I'm going to cancel the sinus surgery. No clue if and when my toe will ever get back to normal. If something goes wrong, the patient has to pay for it.
Just hands off t u dr very informative🇮🇳
I’m day 6 in and what an uncomfortable experience. First few days painful and hard to breathe through mouth with bad stomach. To add to my woes got an infection in nostril got some cream from GP hopefully it will help but no sign of the infection getting better on day two of applying it, says 10 days but I don’t want it to worsen. This is truly an uncomfortable situation and not what I expected maybe in a few months I will be pleased with results. NHS staff great but follow up treatment see you out the door in a few hours and then in 3 months. nhs way behind other countries in term of treatment follow up drugs etc. I had knee surgery two weeks previously so feels like my body has hit a wall. Two weeks off is at least I need. If this infection worsens back to see the consultant. 😢
Thanks!
So kind of you go super, and I saw you did it again earlier. I'm most grateful. It means a lot.
Good explanation
Thanks you sir. Love from india❤
Just came here to say thank you. I had my surgery this week and today, when I recovered my sense of smell, I noticed the horrible smell in my nose. It was indeed an infection. Funny enough they just gave me tablets, they said that since I was not bleeding it was not necessary to inject
Please share all the benefits that you got after this surgery. I am thinking about getting this done. It feels like sleep apnea is killing my brains.
Very helpful!!!
I just have bad allergies right now and really need to get this done soon
At 72, I’ve been dealing with allergies my whole life. Sinus surgery has been a piece of the pie. Immunotherapy shots or Sublingual Immunotherapy is also a big piece.
A very informative guide, particularly your drawings.
In some guides, you see certain types of deviation termed C shaped, S shaped, T shaped - no doubt there are more types than letters in the alphabet - if not those drawings should be redrawn by you.
Do you guys do things differently depending on how and where things are deflected?
there are loads of different techniques and loads of different types of obstruction. I have simplified it a lot but I will mull it over and see if I can draw out all the different obstructions. thx
Thank you very interesting
Hi Doctor! Thank you for this thoughtfully made video. I was just wondering how can I use my CPAP after my surgery if my cpap mask is a nasal one?
This a great video. I wish more people had your communication skills.
So....re: Sterimar. I note that it's not just hypertonic saline. Also contains copper and magnesium. What, if anything do they do? I'd suspect it's the saline alone doing all the heavy lifting but...is there any literature?
Hey Dr Veer, thanks for such a helpful video. Its certainly given me a load more info than I i received pre and post -op for having a septoplasty done...much appreciated 🙏🏻
My op was done a week ago. Today my GP prescribed me Co-amoxiclav as my right nostril has been swollen and inflamed at the bottom of the septum where there are stitches. My next post-op appointment with ENT is 2 months away so I'm glad my GP took action.
Do you think this will be suffice for treating an infection post-op or should I really have presented at A&E?
Stitches wise as well - I was not given any information on if they are absorbable or any need taking out.
Should I work on the assumption that they are absorbable if no other info was privided do you think?
Sorry for the questions, its just a bit of a confusing amd worrying journey to experience when this isn't part of your everyday life. Thanks again 👍🏻
Thank you for this , Just had septoplasty and terbinate reduction surgery, Strange thing is when i was back to the recovery room the nurse took my packing out of the nostrils ? Trying to get a hold of my surgeon to see if she had ordered the packing out. I just have the dressing under my nose to catch the blood and mucus. Have had no pain so far . Both nostrils are plugged big time , i do sleep with head raised . Ontario, Canada
Hi great video! What about the jacobson’s organ? Does it have a function? And isn’t it damaged during septoplasty?
Thanks in advance!
I got my septoplasty surgery 3 days ago its so painful😢😢 can't wait to feel better
Please tell me how are you now , bcoz I want to get it done
Thanks for another really interesting video. Is septoplasy as an open surgery ever done?
yes, some people do this operation open.
Thank you for the video.
How soon can I start with Nasal irrigation post the surgery? Should I wait for a few days or can I start right away.
