Wow. I wish my post-opt team had suggested I watch this. Instead I got three separate sheets that contradicted each other on post-opt, do’s and don’ts.
I just had sinus surgery, yesterday. Surprisingly: I’m not in too much pain (in itself) but my main complaint is that I can’t breathe through my nose, which is the worst feeling in the world. My nose keeps bleeding (which is a common symptom, and I had to change my gauze 4 times, since I got home) but thankfully, I have a follow-up appointment, next week. I pray they remove the splints in my nose, next week, but I watched your video, a few days prior to my surgery, and wanted to thank you for taking the time to share this information with us. It helped me learn what questions I should ask, and what to expect. I even asked for Afrin nasal spray, per your advice in this video, and they gave it to me! (*whispers* Thankkkkkk youuuuuuu 😆) Many people on the Internet love to exaggerate, scare people, and make things sound worse than what they really are. While everyone’s experience is different: you motivated me to proceed with having surgery, despite the large amount of anxiety that I had, beforehand, so I wanted to show my appreciation to you for that. :)
Had all three surgeries that he listed (septoplasty, turbonates, and the sinus roto treatment). There’s definitely mucho bleed-o. I also have a metal splint in there, but I can’t even feel it to be honest.
Perfect!!! I has sinus surgery today and you answered every question I wanted addressed. The one thing no one addressed was the Afrin spray and that’s exactly what I wanted to know as well as how soon it was ok to start rinsing. Simple and straightforward
@@DavidHernandez-sn1kk … yes. Right after surgery, I had issues from what would later drain. It’s been two months now with no issues breathing. I had constant sinus infections before surgery.
@@DavidHernandez-sn1kk … the first two weeks was rough. Lots of drainage. Honestly, pretty nasty drainage for 24 hours straight. That was about day 7. Then every day got better and better. By week three, barely anything at all. After a month, I was completely healed. That first couple days, Afrin will really help. I can’t emphasize enough to use the saline rinse .. it’s a lifesaver. I still everyday when I shower do the saline rinse.
I know they probably won’t see this, but I have a question. I just had sinus surgery and it went great. I can breathe pretty much perfectly. But I haven’t used a sinus rinse. I don’t like using them. Do I need to do that? What’s the risk if I don’t
@ericamagana3437 I'm getting one done soon. I have deep pressure ad lain in sinuses that extends into brainfog and headaches. How long until yours started to feel better.
Really bad I would say 16 hours and now things are getting better so just hang in there. Be sure you have Afrin when you come home from the hospital, I don’t pick mine up until a few hours from now which is the day after of my surgery. Afrin will reduce the size of the blood vessel so you don’t bleed so much also get one of those Nettie pots and rinse yourself out as soon as you can I just did mine three hours ago that would’ve been 13 hours after my surgery and it made a big difference
@@stevenj9970 oh man wish you speedy recovery 🙏 I'll definitely take your advice (if I don't end up canceling the appointment due to being scared ) thanks and again wishing u speedy recovery 🙏
Same here. They quickly told me a bunch of stuff at the hospital right before surgery & after when I was still under sedation. Little to nothing handed out, except when to go to emergency. 🙄 Random things pop into my head like, don't eat anything w Red dye. ?? There should be an extensive clear list of discharge instructions & aftercare. With pictures!
Anyone here had trouble sleeping after sinus surgery? I've been having severe sleeping trouble 4th day after surgery (FESS, septoplasty and turbinoplasty) I am feeling very sleepy, as soon as I get from one state of sleep to the other my body is getting an intense jerk accompanied by a sinking feeling. I am very frustrated , exhausted and feeling defeated after an intense 18 months of long covid , I was hoping for things to get better after surgery and now I have this illness that I have no clue what it is or how to fix it. Side effect of general anesthetic? Side effect of taking tramadol? I was fine first 4 days and this started after tramadol. Are these hypnic jerks? The more I look it up, the negative content AI keeps presenting me is just taking ne to a very dark place. If someone has a similar experience, i would really appreciate some advice.
Just had it done 2 days ago. Wondering if it got better for you? I have sleep apnea so I m constantly waking up. If you are breathing through your mouth & you stop during sleep to naturally try & breathe thru your nose you will likely wake up. Also sleeping upright doesn't help. You're definitely going to be tired throughout the day. I think tramadol makes you tired also? I was only given ibuprofen. But I am beyond sleepy.
I've just had Septoplasty surgery a week ago and going back after 1 to 3 days is impossible! The meds and morphine was impairing my ability to focus and I felt very very tired for several days. Simple things like chewing and speaking caused discomfort and at times much pain. I would also NOT recommend going back too soon as this will put you into contact with germs, flus and other viruses which is not what you need so soon after surgery. Today is day 8 and I'm only now beginning to feel normal again.
@@925sterling3 Hi there. The best way to put it is that I must have gone from 20% airflow on a good day to 100% nearly all the time. It's amazing. My right nostril was completely blocked at least 70% of the day. Hot days and warm nights were the worst. Yes I snored as well. If you have a deviated septum which is causing discomfort and breathing impairment then I'd highly recommend it. The results were immediately noticeable and the day after the surgery I was overwhelmed that I was able to breath properly and take deep breaths for the first time in 15 years. Its really nowhere as bad as I could have imagined and nowhere as bad as I've read about. Just take the necessary precautions and have enough rest after the surgery. Time has flown by! I'm approaching month 3 and only have a negligible amount of swelling (10%) which no one else can notice except me. If I had to do it again I would have the surgery tomorrow again without a doubt.
@@Brent.1844 Thank you for putting your comment. I have stuffed left side for over 15 years niw and on topbof that my dentist screwed up and sent the implant into my sinus. Now that it needs to be taken I am worried. The doc mentioned about the risk of eye damages. I have time till midnight to think over and do or cancel my surgery tomorrow morning. It is strange that they told me about possible complications this late into surgery
Concise, clinical, professional and to the point. Highest marks, unlike the useless, narcissistic videos on this topic. I just had this procedure done and although enduring a lot of bleeding, congestion, sleep deprivation and even some esophageal discomfort (hiccups, burping can be a side effect of the breathing tube) have yet to take a pain pill. I'm 66 and I'm shocked how many young people have had this done, I thought only old timers required this.
Thank you doctors. The video is very informative. I am a 69 yo man who just finished a 3-1/2 hrs surgery 4 days ago. I am in so much pain the 3rd day post-op when everything started to show. I have my left nostril enlarged by about 2x the regular opening. It's full of packing that started to come out with rinsing. My problem is with the Norco I was given. It gave me high blood pressure that wouldn't go away. My upper teeth gums are hurting. Tylenol and ibuprofen as you mentioned are much better choices. I wished I knew you guys before. Btw, I am still bleeding on the 4th day.
@@GeneLiuMD Thank you doctor. I finally was able to sleep after 8 days of sleepless nights. Blood pressure went away without further treatment. Doctor said it was reaction from the anaesthesia. Upper gum and lip still sensitive after 10 days of surgey. For sure I will ask people to check with you if they plan for sinus surgery.
i had my septoplasty with fess with b/l partial inferior turbinectomy surgery but even after 2 weeks of surgery i am unable to breathe properly in one of my nostrils can you tell how long does it takes to breathe properly
Is it possible to use q tip to clean the very outside edge if there is alot of drainage and tissue, or just place another gauze and let that soke up first?
If your nose is congested, then mouth breathing pretty much is the only other option. If this happens in the post op period, then hopefully it's a temporary thing. Other than keeping the head elevated, applying ice/cold, and irrigating the nose, there isn't too much else to do to help minimize the issue. There is no way to prevent/avoid it entirely.
Thank you for this! Answered a lot of questions I didn't know I needed to ask until it was too late and doctor was too busy to pick up 😬 Anyone have any tips for getting the Afrin in your nose when the mucous wont stop flowing? It's the day after surgery and I'm drowning in bloody mucous 🤢
I had sinuplasty and turbinate reduction three weeks ago. First two weeks I was very stuffy and only the sinus rinses offered some relief. Into the second week I was blowing out huge long chunks of hardened mucous that once expelled gave much relief. This I was told is normal shredding of scars from the turbinate reduction. Now as I start my fourth week I have very little stuffiness and a much clearer nose. I had little need for pain killers. So it's a gradual healing process but very much worth it.
Had frontal sinuse surgery and the removal of a septum spur almost 3 weeks ago. Found out that I have had a sealed frontal sinuse cavity for at least 6 years and it was a fungal infection. I have been dizzy at times and I am constantly draining. I have had a constant headache for years but now it's not like before. I'm happy that the headache is gone but I found I really don't like anything inside my nose at all
@@sandhya431 always a small risk of that tbh. This is why you have to be very conservative in treating things first. and then staged surgery (of the good methods), instead of just praying for the best.
@Kiwi_4321 I still have sinus problems occasionally. My sinuses on the left side of my face feel like they pop often, and I have to rinse with a neti pot. Other than having a sealed off sinus cavity again, I'm scared of growing more bone spurs that will aggravate my sinus cavities again. For the most part, I'm ok, but when the weather changes quickly, the left side of my face will start hurting.
Same here. Mine was 5 days ago. We’re you able to rinse in the first week? My nose is overproducing mucus etc, there’s literally no space for water to go through :/
@@VincentSteinerYuh I fixed it be sniffing different types of essential oils, and forcing myself to remember that smell. Sense of smell can on and off, and you shouldn't blow your nose, you do a sinus bath with distilled lukewarm water with salt and after half an hour it should pop right off. It's the nose blowing that can suppress sense of smell, maybe permanently.
For more than a year I've had a non-stop headache in the middle of my forehead. The Doctors finally figured out it was my frontal sinuses and I had surgery a few days ago. My headache was gone immediately after I had the surgery and I felt much better. But the very next day my headache returned exactly as it was. Now I don't know what to do. Is there a reason why this could happen? Can another surgery possibly fix this? I will try anything to get rid of this. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.
A few days is too soon to make any determination. In the early healing process, it is completely normal to have more swelling and pressure than previously. Hopefully it's improving again at this point.
Sorry that you have had this happen. There is no simple, straightforward answer to your question. Depending on the extent of the sinus surgery you had done, and how long ago, via which techniques...determines the likelihood of potential recovery, what might have caused it, and what the options are.
My dad lost about 80-85% of his sense of smell after this surgery, but that's because he had to fix a deviated septum and remove a lot of scar tissue near his sinuses, he was on the table for 6 hours. I had the same deviated septum surgery (I didn't have any scar tissue) by the same doctor and I didn't lose my sense of smell.
Thanks guys a big help, had surgery today and have a slow trickle of blood and fluid and a very sore throat, surgeon recommends irrigation after 48 hrs. Definitely hard to sleep with a sore throat and plugged solid. Thanks for the informative videp
I doubt you'll read this but im hoping. I had septoplasty & turbinate reduction 2 days ago. My dr (in S Calif) prescribed Afrin but I couldn't pick it up til the next afternoon. I'm changing my dressing every 3 hours. Lots of blood & mucus. I have the Neil med kit & would like to rinse but I asked the dr yesterday & he said No. Beyond being completely stuffed up, the dried blood & large drips are uncomfortable. Why would he tell me not to use the rinse? It's Saturday so I can't get ahold of anyone.
Hello I just did sceptoplasty 20 days ago, I am cleaning as prescribed by the doctor with saline solution, The question is, how to prevent the mucous from Hardening and making the border of the nose from hurting and etc
I am 9 days post op from septoplasty and incision continuously has crust even when I clean it, it seems to come right back. When I look inside it looks like the incision is not healed and basically a hole is there. What should i do? I just say my dr and it was there at the time and he said everything is fine. Should there be a hole. The suture is nowhere to be seen.
This video is AWESOME!! I just had my surgery today and this is more informative than anything I've seen! Thank you so much! Can someone tell me why I am having blood come from the left EYE?
@@RBLong0928 Without knowing what was done, I can't say for sure. The tearducts drain into the nose. So if anything is swollen, blocked, inflamed, etc... in the nose, things can overflow up the "pipes" and come out the tear duct openings
The Neil Med Sinuses rinse can cause the rinse to drain from the eyes if the nose is very congested, while using it. I usually stop rinsing in that nose if it occurs, until the nostril becomes less congested. I've never had the surgery though.
I had a baloon sinusplasty a few days ago and would like to know, if I should be concerned with the burning in my nose and head when I use the saline rinse? Also m, I have been having a throbbing head without pain is that common after the surgery?
i was told i need some pathways in my sinus cleaned out so i am less prone to bacteria infections... currently is hard to kill an infection do to narrow path ways... I never had an infection before... i am 63 now... what is the procedure i need called?? thanks
Stuffed up still after 2 months? I just had it done 2 days ago & I'm already sick of mouth breathing. Curious... did it change the shape of your nose. Cuz mine looks like a pig's nose right now.
I'm have my septum straitened in 3 days. I'm absolutely crapping it. I'm so fearful of waking up and not been able to breath although my nhs dr told me I'd be able to breath normally
If you are only having a maxillary antrostomy and nothing else, recovery is usually really quick and relatively easy. Perhaps even just over the counter pain medications and and slight congestion and drip lasting a few days.
Hi 1 week since my surgery, ( septoplasty turbinectomy).Apparently have splints up both sides of my nose are they easily removed & is this done in my 2 week post op visit with my surgeon thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! I had my septoplasty Inferior turbinoplasties closure septal perferation surgery on 21st December, last surgery of the year for my surgeon. I thought it would ne a great time to have the surgery, sinceI was off work anyway and could use an excuse to avoid certain family members over the holidays! However I didn't count on excessive bleeding, caused by my rinses, I just wasn't healing at 3 - 5 times a day i was doing it. I watched the video and have cut back my rinses and already the bleeding has stopped for the first time in a week, and I'm much less congested. I would recommend surgery this time of year, however when there are even small complications it can be impossible to get advice outside of spending hours in the emergency room, so thank you for putting my mind to rest, and happy holidays from Australia! ❤❤❤
Great vid Doctors, thanks for helping us. I need to do my sinus surgery because I had polyps and my nose cartilage not straight this cost me lost smelling and breathing 30 to 40% only from nous. Doctor said it's easy surgery, not cost a lot of pain and bleeding only first days and you can go back to work after 2days from the surgery. Does this true? and can I ask you about sleeping can I sleep first days and showering and eat? And can I breathing first days? Thank you so much
You can definitely eat and sleep, but there will be some discomfort. When you can go back to work depends on what was done and the nature of your work. You really should just go by the recommendations of your doctor.
Great video. I am now 11 days post op but still unable to breathe through either nostril. My left is very clean but can only push out air, no breathe in and my right actually appears to have what I can only describe as a yellow cyst. My surgeon prescribed me antibiotics day 3 ad I also had sinitus. I am very worried this isn’t normally and considering going for a second opinion elsewhere
Hi how are you? I’m currently a month after my surgery I still cannot breathe. I have no idea how these people are saying they were able to breathe after the 3 day.
3 weeks after my turbinate reduction I got a nose bleed at work from lifting. Sprayed the Afrin and it went away quick. However the day after pretty much the moment I woke up I had another nose bleed which lasted quite a while around an hour. Was spitting out blood half of the rest of the day.
I had a deviated septoplasty surgery 6 days ago. My forehead up to the top of my head is real sensitive to touch on my right side. Also when I get up in the morning my forehead hurts so bad like congestion. Is there anything wrong? My doctor said it doesn't have anything to do with what he did.
Is it normal for my nostrils to open up perfectly right after a laser turbinate reduction, but then become completely blocked within an hour or so and stay that way? I’m on day 2 and both nostrils are almost entirely blocked. It’s to the point that I have to stop chewing and drinking just to breathe. It’s exhausting! And my nose is still running like a kitchen sink. No blood, just watery mucus. So much I have to roll up pieces of tissue like tampons to plug my nostrils.
Hello Doctor and community, hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe! My old new problem has brought me back to this reliable channel once again. I had got my fess and septo done last year in March. Everything went well for a few months after the surgery but since August last year, I have been having regular episodes of sinus infections with one thing in common, congestion/breathing issues on the right side/nostril. Have been showing to the surgeon regularly and every time I have been prescribed antibiotics and anti-allergies for few days. I showed to some other doctor and says that there has been some overcorrection because of which am getting dry and it is super-hot & dry here in Delhi which is why am getting these issues persistently. Am using Vaseline, oils, rinsing, steam but getting only temporary relief. Writing in the hope to get some advice that could help me get rid of this problem. Obstruction is constant on the right side only, sometimes I whistle while inhaling/exhaling. Please suggest.
@@turiya9526 Same anti alergic on a regular basis and corticosteroid spray once in a while may be 3-4 times a month.I am no Doctor but septoplasty is not something one cannot live without.
@@mackfrmbly but are you better now? I am super scared to get this done because I have heard so many bad experiences. Also do you recommend a good ent in delhi?
@@turiya9526 I am better now. My passages are much more clear now. What is the need of it, I had additional condition, nasal polyps, (25 years of history) that is why I went for it but I regret, operation should be the last resort. Have you taken second/third opinion. I got it done in Appollo Spectra, Dr. Lalit Parashar, he is fine, very experienced. But again operation should be the last resort, find some more organic ways. I am happy to share more info, if you want to call me.
I had septoplasty with bilateral FESS with Turbenictomy with Ethmoidectomy under General Anaesthesia on 29.10.2020. I had no bleeding post op, just dripping. Had my first review on 5.11.2020 where the doctor also cleaned my nose. On the evening of 5.11.2020 around 7:54 pm my nose started bleeding profusely. I went to the ER, the doctor placed gauze in both my nostrils and packed it. The doctors examined my throat and informed me that there is no bleeding and everything looks fine. However the nose pack kept getting soaked. Is this normal? Also i have a flight on 11.11.2020. Will i be fit to fly by then?
Very informative. Recently I got my nose endoscopy done and found my right nasal passage narrowed down because of some bone deformation or bend. Doctor further recommended a CT scan and found minor infection on left sinus ( cheek) along with obvious bone bend on the right side (but no infection on right cheek sinus). He prescribed a saline spray two puffs twice a day in both nostrils (Day & night -before bed) and suggested a minor surgery to address the root cause of bone deformation leaving the surgery decision on me, depending how I feel and evaluate my issue. he didnt prescribe any antibiotics. According to him the use of antibiotics would be a temporary solution and infection would return back anytime once the antibiotic course is completed unless the core issue has not been addressed so in other words putting me on antibiotics was simply futile. If kindly allowed, i desperately would like to share my CT scan results with you for your evaluation and advise. I will be very grateful. Thank you kind regards from the UAE.
Hi I have done my nosal plopy surgery on 22 this month. I could not smell before the surgery and can not after surgery. I can't breath from my nose. I still have the problems. Please help me.
I had surgery this past friday 7/31/2020 and I've had severe neck pain, chest pain and a constant headache. My throat and chest hurt and feel dry and kind of vacant ( like an empty space). I also do not have any taste when it comes to food. My neck is extremely stiff and my neck has muscle spasms that do not allow me to sleep without waking up every hour or so.
I just had surgery October 18th 2024. I had endoscopic sinus Surgery as well as surgery to fix my deviated symptom. Everything is going quite well, I'm obviously feeling tired drainage from my nose like dry blood, mucus etc. Etc. Question is this, is it normal to have pressure in your forehead after you have the surgery? My doctor said it is completely normal but having a second opinion matters to me as well. Has anyone had this experience before?
I have watched so many videos on this subject, this video is absolutely the best. The part on blowing your nose was especially helpful to me. Obviously after irrigation you have to do some blowing! 👍🏼🤧👍🏼
Had turbinate reduction surgery 2 days ago. Doing the nasal irrigations several times a day. Been driving me crazy not being able to blow my nose. And now my eye won't stop watering. Did you have this issue
Hmm, I can't directly connect chest congestion. Heartburn can certainly be triggered by stress. If there's any concern or doubt, check with your doctor. But these are issues that are not a direct result in septoplasty and typically not something that happens in the recovery period. (Doesn't mean it's necessarily anything to worry about either, but can't tell over the comments section!)
I have the same thing. Just got it done 4 days ago. I think it's the antibiotics and pain killer you are taking. I took mylanta and put something in your stomach before taking the pills.
I just got mine done and it is not funny feeling my mouth keep getting dry cause i have to use my mouth to breath Uncomfortable pain. But i will follow this instructions and see the out come thanks
My daughter had the surgery today, she is breathing through the packings in her nose when she fell sleep, is it dangerous. We were told that she can't breath from her nose for two weeks.
It's quite miserable to have the nose completely blocked, but almost everyone can simply open their mouth and breath that way. How are things going now?
@@GeneLiuMD on the second day she was in sceruciating pain and her nose was so swollen. We went to emergency but they told us to keep the packing, then I called a nurse from the hospital she did the surgery, she said to take out the packing, we took out and all the blood that was gathered behind it was emptied, then we rinsed her nose, and the pain became less. I wish I would have given the instruction with details on the first place.
I have a lot of bruising on my face from a pretty invasive sinus surgery. I got a septorhinoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery. I can't breathe through my nose hardly at all and have been a mouth breather since the day after surgery. I have my post op appt coming in 2 days.
Is walking on the treadmill ok 2 days after surgery if I take it easy? When can I walk fast enough to get my heart rate up and the when can I run again? Also my stitches in one side is coming out! Is that ok to ignore until I see the dr for follow up? I also wish and wonder if I could put vassalene or neosporin or something lubricant on the stitches inside because they feel so dry and tight?
What is the best sleeping position for someone that had a sinus and oral surgery and has facial swelling? I read that lying down on your back should be avoided and that the patient should be upright. But how can anyone sleep upright comfortably?
this is what is great about the internet
he talks about turbinate reductions.but not about empty nose syndrome being a 20% consequence of a turbinate reduction
For fuckin real life saving

Really bad I would say 16 hours and now things are getting better so just hang in there. Be sure you have Afrin when you come home from the hospital, I don’t pick mine up until a few hours from now which is the day after of my surgery.

I am very frustrated , exhausted and feeling defeated after an intense 18 months of long covid , I was hoping for things to get better after surgery and now I have this illness that I have no clue what it is or how to fix it.

Just had it done 2 days ago. Wondering if it got better for you?
I have sleep apnea so I m constantly waking up. If you are breathing through your mouth & you stop during sleep to naturally try & breathe thru your nose you will likely wake up. Also sleeping upright doesn't help. You're definitely going to be tired throughout the day. I think tramadol makes you tired also? I was only given ibuprofen. But I am beyond sleepy.
@maggienbob1304 it took 2-3 months for it to get better , I would suggest to try and manage the anxiety , it helps
I am going through the exact same thing. Day 12 and sleep is a big issue. Same thing like you mentioned about hypnic jerks and constant waking up
I've just had Septoplasty surgery a week ago and going back after 1 to 3 days is impossible! The meds and morphine was impairing my ability to focus and I felt very very tired for several days. Simple things like chewing and speaking caused discomfort and at times much pain. I would also NOT recommend going back too soon as this will put you into contact with germs, flus and other viruses which is not what you need so soon after surgery. Today is day 8 and I'm only now beginning to feel normal again.
@@925sterling3 Hi there. The best way to put it is that I must have gone from 20% airflow on a good day to 100% nearly all the time. It's amazing.
My right nostril was completely blocked at least 70% of the day. Hot days and warm nights were the worst.
Yes I snored as well.
If you have a deviated septum which is causing discomfort and breathing impairment then I'd highly recommend it.
The results were immediately noticeable and the day after the surgery I was overwhelmed that I was able to breath properly and take deep breaths for the first time in 15 years.
Its really nowhere as bad as I could have imagined and nowhere as bad as I've read about. Just take the necessary precautions and have enough rest after the surgery.
Time has flown by! I'm approaching month 3 and only have a negligible amount of swelling (10%) which no one else can notice except me. If I had to do it again I would have the surgery tomorrow again without a doubt.
@@Brent.1844 Thank you for putting your comment. I have stuffed left side for over 15 years niw and on topbof that my dentist screwed up and sent the implant into my sinus. Now that it needs to be taken I am worried. The doc mentioned about the risk of eye damages. I have time till midnight to think over and do or cancel my surgery tomorrow morning. It is strange that they told me about possible complications this late into surgery
I’m two weeks in and my right nostril is completely blocked nasil rinse is just about passing through no noticeable changed in fact it’s worse
@@DarrenSpiers-ez1oehow about now
Concise, clinical, professional and to the point. Highest marks, unlike the useless, narcissistic videos on this topic. I just had this procedure done and although enduring a lot of bleeding, congestion, sleep deprivation and even some esophageal discomfort (hiccups, burping can be a side effect of the breathing tube) have yet to take a pain pill. I'm 66 and I'm shocked how many young people have had this done, I thought only old timers required this.
Great video .. I just surgery today and was thinking I should rinse immediately but glad i watch this video and still start tomorrow.
@@925sterling3 I feel a million times better. No issues
What kind of surgery you had bro ?
Thank you doctors. The video is very informative. I am a 69 yo man who just finished a 3-1/2 hrs surgery 4 days ago. I am in so much pain the 3rd day post-op when everything started to show. I have my left nostril enlarged by about 2x the regular opening. It's full of packing that started to come out with rinsing. My problem is with the Norco I was given. It gave me high blood pressure that wouldn't go away. My upper teeth gums are hurting. Tylenol and ibuprofen as you mentioned are much better choices. I wished I knew you guys before. Btw, I am still bleeding on the 4th day.
Hope you're doing better.
@@GeneLiuMD Thank you doctor. I finally was able to sleep after 8 days of sleepless nights. Blood pressure went away without further treatment. Doctor said it was reaction from the anaesthesia. Upper gum and lip still sensitive after 10 days of surgey. For sure I will ask people to check with you if they plan for sinus surgery.
i had my septoplasty with fess with b/l partial inferior turbinectomy surgery but even after 2 weeks of surgery i am unable to breathe properly in one of my nostrils can you tell how long does it takes to breathe properly
I just had mine on Wednesday, now I’m on say 3 . Right now I feel horrible. I hope this gets better
Is it possible to use q tip to clean the very outside edge if there is alot of drainage and tissue, or just place another gauze and let that soke up first?
This was extremely helpful, and I greatly appreciate this. Thank you all so much!
Great watch! Didn't know about the nasal rinse
how do I sleep then, with my mouth open? it's really uncomfortable and its costing me beauty sleep. Any thoughts? (when you have the chance thanks)
If your nose is congested, then mouth breathing pretty much is the only other option. If this happens in the post op period, then hopefully it's a temporary thing. Other than keeping the head elevated, applying ice/cold, and irrigating the nose, there isn't too much else to do to help minimize the issue. There is no way to prevent/avoid it entirely.
I have headaches that don’t go away
Thank you for this! Answered a lot of questions I didn't know I needed to ask until it was too late and doctor was too busy to pick up 😬
Anyone have any tips for getting the Afrin in your nose when the mucous wont stop flowing? It's the day after surgery and I'm drowning in bloody mucous 🤢
I had sinuplasty and turbinate reduction three weeks ago. First two weeks I was very stuffy and only the sinus rinses offered some relief. Into the second week I was blowing out huge long chunks of hardened mucous that once expelled gave much relief. This I was told is normal shredding of scars from the turbinate reduction. Now as I start my fourth week I have very little stuffiness and a much clearer nose. I had little need for pain killers. So it's a gradual healing process but very much worth it.
Excellent video. Very informative.
Had frontal sinuse surgery and the removal of a septum spur almost 3 weeks ago. Found out that I have had a sealed frontal sinuse cavity for at least 6 years and it was a fungal infection. I have been dizzy at times and I am constantly draining. I have had a constant headache for years but now it's not like before. I'm happy that the headache is gone but I found I really don't like anything inside my nose at all
Did u face any pblm like empty nose syndrome
@@sandhya431 no it has been great so far, the scars feel odd sometimes where they took the bone spur out
@@sandhya431 always a small risk of that tbh. This is why you have to be very conservative in treating things first. and then staged surgery (of the good methods), instead of just praying for the best.
How has the surgery held up? Any symptoms?
@Kiwi_4321 I still have sinus problems occasionally. My sinuses on the left side of my face feel like they pop often, and I have to rinse with a neti pot. Other than having a sealed off sinus cavity again, I'm scared of growing more bone spurs that will aggravate my sinus cavities again. For the most part, I'm ok, but when the weather changes quickly, the left side of my face will start hurting.
Im so scared. I need to remove a cyst and I am so scared
I'm experiencing loss of smell after surgery. I had it last week.
Same here. Mine was 5 days ago.
We’re you able to rinse in the first week? My nose is overproducing mucus etc, there’s literally no space for water to go through :/
@@VincentSteinerYuh I fixed it be sniffing different types of essential oils, and forcing myself to remember that smell. Sense of smell can on and off, and you shouldn't blow your nose, you do a sinus bath with distilled lukewarm water with salt and after half an hour it should pop right off. It's the nose blowing that can suppress sense of smell, maybe permanently.
Very informative and all the negative comments convinced me not to go thru with it and it's not really worth it. Thank you very much 😊
Thank you so much for this video Dr.! Having my surgery tomorrow 😫
Good luck today!
How did it go?
How are you?
For more than a year I've had a non-stop headache in the middle of my forehead. The Doctors finally figured out it was my frontal sinuses and I had surgery a few days ago. My headache was gone immediately after I had the surgery and I felt much better. But the very next day my headache returned exactly as it was. Now I don't know what to do. Is there a reason why this could happen? Can another surgery possibly fix this? I will try anything to get rid of this. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.
A few days is too soon to make any determination. In the early healing process, it is completely normal to have more swelling and pressure than previously. Hopefully it's improving again at this point.
How are you now?
i ask what is the side effect people without sinus
Any update on you're surgery thank you
How has your surgery held up? Do you still get any symptoms?
Hello sir can nasal polyposis with sinusitis be completely cured ????? If we take proper medical and surgical care
Great Video !!!! Very easy to follow and understand !!!! Thanks !!!!
I was not given a saline spray or any sort of saline rinse. They only gave me decongestant drops and antibiotic cream. Is this normal ?
I lost my sense of smell after sinus surgery/turbinate reduction!!! Never do it. What options do I have to recover it?
Sorry that you have had this happen. There is no simple, straightforward answer to your question. Depending on the extent of the sinus surgery you had done, and how long ago, via which techniques...determines the likelihood of potential recovery, what might have caused it, and what the options are.
How likely is the loss of smell to happen after surgery! I hope it don’t happen! That would be horrible!
My dad lost about 80-85% of his sense of smell after this surgery, but that's because he had to fix a deviated septum and remove a lot of scar tissue near his sinuses, he was on the table for 6 hours. I had the same deviated septum surgery (I didn't have any scar tissue) by the same doctor and I didn't lose my sense of smell.
@@myrandameans2123 Did your dad had septoplasty and turbinoplasty or only septoplasty ??
Thank you for all the information!! I had today septoplasty and turbane reduction
How you feel now ?
Any update after youre surgery thank you
Thank you. Just got my surgery done today. Blessings xoxo.
How u feel after surgery?
Thanks guys a big help, had surgery today and have a slow trickle of blood and fluid and a very sore throat, surgeon recommends irrigation after 48 hrs. Definitely hard to sleep with a sore throat and plugged solid.
Thanks for the informative videp
I doubt you'll read this but im hoping.
I had septoplasty & turbinate reduction 2 days ago. My dr (in S Calif) prescribed Afrin but I couldn't pick it up til the next afternoon. I'm changing my dressing every 3 hours. Lots of blood & mucus. I have the Neil med kit & would like to rinse but I asked the dr yesterday & he said No. Beyond being completely stuffed up, the dried blood & large drips are uncomfortable. Why would he tell me not to use the rinse? It's Saturday so I can't get ahold of anyone.
Traveling the day before my surgery to a place that’s at a much higher altitude 🏔️ than where i live. Curious how this affects the recovery process.
Hello I just did sceptoplasty 20 days ago, I am cleaning as prescribed by the doctor with saline solution,
The question is, how to prevent the mucous from Hardening and making the border of the nose from hurting and etc
Thank you for your time and effort putting this realistic video together. 😎All the best, All the time!
Please make sure you tell people to use DISTILLED WATER.. NOT JUST WARM WATER. Sink water can cause you to die of a bacterial infection.
I am 9 days post op from septoplasty and incision continuously has crust even when I clean it, it seems to come right back. When I look inside it looks like the incision is not healed and basically a hole is there. What should i do? I just say my dr and it was there at the time and he said everything is fine. Should there be a hole. The suture is nowhere to be seen.
This was very helpful thank you.
This video is AWESOME!! I just had my surgery today and this is more informative than anything I've seen! Thank you so much! Can someone tell me why I am having blood come from the left EYE?
It's still bleeding from the eye. Can you tell me why this might be?
@@RBLong0928 Without knowing what was done, I can't say for sure. The tearducts drain into the nose. So if anything is swollen, blocked, inflamed, etc... in the nose, things can overflow up the "pipes" and come out the tear duct openings
The Neil Med Sinuses rinse can cause the rinse to drain from the eyes if the nose is very congested, while using it. I usually stop rinsing in that nose if it occurs, until the nostril becomes less congested. I've never had the surgery though.
Update, please!
Hi can you give us update? Thanks.
How long should we wait to take shower after septoplasty?
There is no reason why you can't shower that day. I can imagine that some doctors might not be happy with hot showers as it increases blood flow
@@GeneLiuMD Thank you Doctor
what about drinking alcohol?
I had a baloon sinusplasty a few days ago and would like to know, if I should be concerned with the burning in my nose and head when I use the saline rinse? Also m, I have been having a throbbing head without pain is that common after the surgery?
How long it takes to recover completely
i was told i need some pathways in my sinus cleaned out so i am less prone to bacteria infections... currently is hard to kill an infection do to narrow path ways... I never had an infection before... i am 63 now... what is the procedure i need called?? thanks
After 2 months of sinus surgery nothing have changed my nose is still blocked 😢
Stuffed up still after 2 months? I just had it done 2 days ago & I'm already sick of mouth breathing.
Curious... did it change the shape of your nose. Cuz mine looks like a pig's nose right now.
I'm have my septum straitened in 3 days. I'm absolutely crapping it. I'm so fearful of waking up and not been able to breath although my nhs dr told me I'd be able to breath normally
my nose was packed after surgery as well and would like to know if its okay to breathe out my nose with the stents in the nostrils
What about the excessive bleeds
What is a typical recovery for left maxillary antrostomy? Would you have congestion and difficulty breathing postop? How long is recovery?
If you are only having a maxillary antrostomy and nothing else, recovery is usually really quick and relatively easy. Perhaps even just over the counter pain medications and and slight congestion and drip lasting a few days.
Hi 1 week since my surgery, ( septoplasty turbinectomy).Apparently have splints up both sides of my nose are they easily removed & is this done in my 2 week post op visit with my surgeon thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! I had my septoplasty Inferior turbinoplasties closure septal perferation surgery on 21st December, last surgery of the year for my surgeon. I thought it would ne a great time to have the surgery, sinceI was off work anyway and could use an excuse to avoid certain family members over the holidays! However I didn't count on excessive bleeding, caused by my rinses, I just wasn't healing at 3 - 5 times a day i was doing it. I watched the video and have cut back my rinses and already the bleeding has stopped for the first time in a week, and I'm much less congested. I would recommend surgery this time of year, however when there are even small complications it can be impossible to get advice outside of spending hours in the emergency room, so thank you for putting my mind to rest, and happy holidays from Australia! ❤❤❤
Great vid Doctors, thanks for helping us. I need to do my sinus surgery because I had polyps and my nose cartilage not straight this cost me lost smelling and breathing 30 to 40% only from nous. Doctor said it's easy surgery, not cost a lot of pain and bleeding only first days and you can go back to work after 2days from the surgery. Does this true? and can I ask you about sleeping can I sleep first days and showering and eat? And can I breathing first days? Thank you so much
You can definitely eat and sleep, but there will be some discomfort. When you can go back to work depends on what was done and the nature of your work. You really should just go by the recommendations of your doctor.
Great video. I am now 11 days post op but still unable to breathe through either nostril. My left is very clean but can only push out air, no breathe in and my right actually appears to have what I can only describe as a yellow cyst. My surgeon prescribed me antibiotics day 3 ad I also had sinitus. I am very worried this isn’t normally and considering going for a second opinion elsewhere
Hi how are you? I’m currently a month after my surgery I still cannot breathe. I have no idea how these people are saying they were able to breathe after the 3 day.
@@MrMelvin20 same wit me how ah u now ah u breathing
You guys already breathing?
@@MrMelvin20 are you better now ?
Are you feeling better now ?
How long should the nasal rinsing continue? Weeks? Months?
rinsing the second day after surgery??? but what about the cotton bandages?
3 weeks after my turbinate reduction I got a nose bleed at work from lifting. Sprayed the Afrin and it went away quick. However the day after pretty much the moment I woke up I had another nose bleed which lasted quite a while around an hour. Was spitting out blood half of the rest of the day.
What does it mean if you have bad smell in your nose after rhinosinusitis Operation after 1years
Why did I have flat curved blades removed from my nose after left-sided septoplasty and turbinectomy? This was not a nose job.
In how much time does the runny nose stop? 2 weeks ? 3 weeks? It is causing a lot of discomfort
I had a deviated septoplasty surgery 6 days ago. My forehead up to the top of my head is real sensitive to touch on my right side. Also when I get up in the morning my forehead hurts so bad like congestion. Is there anything wrong? My doctor said it doesn't have anything to do with what he did.
Is it normal for my nostrils to open up perfectly right after a laser turbinate reduction, but then become completely blocked within an hour or so and stay that way? I’m on day 2 and both nostrils are almost entirely blocked. It’s to the point that I have to stop chewing and drinking just to breathe. It’s exhausting! And my nose is still running like a kitchen sink. No blood, just watery mucus. So much I have to roll up pieces of tissue like tampons to plug my nostrils.
Is it a bad thing to have dogs if you have nasal polyps? Hope anyone can help. Thanks!
Insightful I will apply right away
What about gym ? How many days we should not go for gym
Hello Doctor and community, hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe! My old new problem has brought me back to this reliable channel once again. I had got my fess and septo done last year in March.
Everything went well for a few months after the surgery but since August last year, I have been having regular episodes of sinus infections with one thing in common, congestion/breathing issues on the right side/nostril.
Have been showing to the surgeon regularly and every time I have been prescribed antibiotics and anti-allergies for few days. I showed to some other doctor and says that there has been some overcorrection because of which am getting dry and it is super-hot & dry here in Delhi which is why am getting these issues persistently. Am using Vaseline, oils, rinsing, steam but getting only temporary relief.
Writing in the hope to get some advice that could help me get rid of this problem.
Obstruction is constant on the right side only, sometimes I whistle while inhaling/exhaling. Please suggest.
Hi, how are you now? I need to get a septoplasty too...
@@turiya9526 Same anti alergic on a regular basis and corticosteroid spray once in a while may be 3-4 times a month.I am no Doctor but septoplasty is not something one cannot live without.
@@mackfrmbly but are you better now? I am super scared to get this done because I have heard so many bad experiences. Also do you recommend a good ent in delhi?
@@turiya9526 I am better now. My passages are much more clear now. What is the need of it, I had additional condition, nasal polyps, (25 years of history) that is why I went for it but I regret, operation should be the last resort. Have you taken second/third opinion. I got it done in Appollo Spectra, Dr. Lalit Parashar, he is fine, very experienced. But again operation should be the last resort, find some more organic ways. I am happy to share more info, if you want to call me.
@@mackfrmbly yes please. How can I contact you?
I had septoplasty with bilateral FESS with Turbenictomy with Ethmoidectomy under General Anaesthesia on 29.10.2020. I had no bleeding post op, just dripping. Had my first review on 5.11.2020 where the doctor also cleaned my nose. On the evening of 5.11.2020 around 7:54 pm my nose started bleeding profusely. I went to the ER, the doctor placed gauze in both my nostrils and packed it. The doctors examined my throat and informed me that there is no bleeding and everything looks fine. However the nose pack kept getting soaked. Is this normal?
Also i have a flight on 11.11.2020. Will i be fit to fly by then?
Informative and helpful thank you
Great video !!! Super comprehensive instructions and the best on TH-cam!!! Thanks Dr. Liu and the rest of the team !
Thanks for the shoutout!
Very informative. Recently I got my nose endoscopy done and found my right nasal passage narrowed down because of some bone deformation or bend. Doctor further recommended a CT scan and found minor infection on left sinus ( cheek) along with obvious bone bend on the right side (but no infection on right cheek sinus). He prescribed a saline spray two puffs twice a day in both nostrils (Day & night -before bed) and suggested a minor surgery to address the root cause of bone deformation leaving the surgery decision on me, depending how I feel and evaluate my issue.
he didnt prescribe any antibiotics. According to him the use of antibiotics would be a temporary solution and infection would return back anytime once the antibiotic course is completed unless the core issue has not been addressed so in other words putting me on antibiotics was simply futile.
If kindly allowed, i desperately would like to share my CT scan results with you for your evaluation and advise. I will be very grateful.
Thank you
kind regards from the UAE.
Don’t do it I have deviated septum and I use spray … one of my friends have the surgery she ended up worst and even suicider
POD 2 and still having double vision post BESS. What could be the best intervention. We called surgeon and he stated area needs healing.
im scared of getting turbinate reduction, so Ive put it off. too much oxymetazoline
Had surgery yesterday, great review of what my Dr said too.
How are you feeling?
Hi
I have done my nosal plopy surgery on 22 this month. I could not smell before the surgery and can not after surgery. I can't breath from my nose. I still have the problems. Please help me.
Call your doctor!
Fatima Shirzad How are you doing now?
Can you give us update?
I had surgery this past friday 7/31/2020 and I've had severe neck pain, chest pain and a constant headache. My throat and chest hurt and feel dry and kind of vacant ( like an empty space). I also do not have any taste when it comes to food. My neck is extremely stiff and my neck has muscle spasms that do not allow me to sleep without waking up every hour or so.
How do you feel?
I just had surgery October 18th 2024. I had endoscopic sinus Surgery as well as surgery to fix my deviated symptom. Everything is going quite well, I'm obviously feeling tired drainage from my nose like dry blood, mucus etc. Etc. Question is this, is it normal to have pressure in your forehead after you have the surgery? My doctor said it is completely normal but having a second opinion matters to me as well. Has anyone had this experience before?
I have watched so many videos on this subject, this video is absolutely the best. The part on blowing your nose was especially helpful to me. Obviously after irrigation you have to do some blowing! 👍🏼🤧👍🏼
Had turbinate reduction surgery 2 days ago. Doing the nasal irrigations several times a day. Been driving me crazy not being able to blow my nose. And now my eye won't stop watering. Did you have this issue
I had my septoplasty done 2 days ago and now I have chest congestion and heartburn. Never get that so seeing if that’s normal?
Hmm, I can't directly connect chest congestion. Heartburn can certainly be triggered by stress. If there's any concern or doubt, check with your doctor. But these are issues that are not a direct result in septoplasty and typically not something that happens in the recovery period. (Doesn't mean it's necessarily anything to worry about either, but can't tell over the comments section!)
I have the same thing. Just got it done 4 days ago. I think it's the antibiotics and pain killer you are taking. I took mylanta and put something in your stomach before taking the pills.
Excellent video. I was told not to sneeze. If i must sneeze, to sneeze through my mouth. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I just got mine done and it is not funny feeling my mouth keep getting dry cause i have to use my mouth to breath
Uncomfortable pain.
But i will follow this instructions and see the out come thanks
Can you use netipot with plastic stents in your nose? Post surgery 4 days out
My daughter had the surgery today, she is breathing through the packings in her nose when she fell sleep, is it dangerous. We were told that she can't breath from her nose for two weeks.
It's quite miserable to have the nose completely blocked, but almost everyone can simply open their mouth and breath that way. How are things going now?
@@GeneLiuMD on the second day she was in sceruciating pain and her nose was so swollen. We went to emergency but they told us to keep the packing, then I called a nurse from the hospital she did the surgery, she said to take out the packing, we took out and all the blood that was gathered behind it was emptied, then we rinsed her nose, and the pain became less. I wish I would have given the instruction with details on the first place.
@@TheSkinnyFairy Glad to hear it's better now
It wasn't until I was able to rinse on the 3rd day I was able too breathe better. The rinsed helped a lot with the congestion
Can you irrigate your nose after turbinate injections?
I had surgery 6 days ago. Is it normal to still be having blood come out when I do my sinus rinses? I don’t bleed any other time. Thanks.
How are you now
So which one really helps with postnasal drip I constantly have an issue with that and stuffy nose switching from side to side constantly
Thank you for this.
I have a lot of bruising on my face from a pretty invasive sinus surgery. I got a septorhinoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery. I can't breathe through my nose hardly at all and have been a mouth breather since the day after surgery. I have my post op appt coming in 2 days.
Is walking on the treadmill ok 2 days after surgery if I take it easy? When can I walk fast enough to get my heart rate up and the when can I run again? Also my stitches in one side is coming out! Is that ok to ignore until I see the dr for follow up? I also wish and wonder if I could put vassalene or neosporin or something lubricant on the stitches inside because they feel so dry and tight?
I had this surgery and they plugged me up till Monday. I have stuff coming out of my nose.
What is the best sleeping position for someone that had a sinus and oral surgery and has facial swelling? I read that lying down on your back should be avoided and that the patient should be upright. But how can anyone sleep upright comfortably?
