Septoplasty surgery is performed on the septum that divides your nostrils into two. Since it is a delicate operation, the recovery period is important.
Septoplasty is also known as "septum deviation". The septum is one of the most important structures of your nose, one of the organs that allow you to breathe in and out. If there is a curvature in the septum, your breathing becomes difficult. Your standard of living can be greatly affected. However, this situation is not unsolvable. With septoplasty, the problem in your nose can be solved comfortably and safely.
As important as the preparation period before septoplasty and the surgery itself, the recovery period is also very important. You can learn everything you need in this period in detail from Prof. Dr. Selçuk İnanlı. A good recovery period ensures that your results are successful and permanent.
Septoplasty surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Therefore, you may be observed for the first 24 hours after the operation to keep you awake and alert. Bleeding may occur in the first few hours following the operation. This is normal and you do not need to worry.
You may need to take painkillers during this period. You should take these medicines at the dose and frequency recommended by your doctor and you should not neglect them. A tampon or splint will be placed inside your nose. These are used to control bleeding in the nose during the first hours and to help your nasal bone heal. It is important that you do not touch the operation site.
Your diet after septoplasty surgery also contributes positively to your healing process. First of all, it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids. Liquid consumption helps to reduce the edema in the nose. You can also consume liquids such as fruit juice and soup.
It is also important to choose warmer and softer foods. In this way, you can prevent bleeding in your nose or prevent it from progressing. You should also avoid fried, fatty, and spicy foods. These types of foods can cause infection at the operation site.
Nosebleeds After Septoplasty Surgery
As with any surgical intervention, septoplasty surgery may bring some risks. You may experience a certain amount of nosebleeds after a deviated septum. It is important for you to know what can happen and what to do in this case. This bleeding is usually caused by the surgical instruments used during the operation or irritation of your nasal tissues. The bleeding is usually mild and can be controlled, but in some cases, it can be more intense.
One common cause of nosebleeds is the healing process of the wounds from septoplasty surgery. In the first few days after surgery, crusts and scar tissues inside the nose can also cause bleeding. This is usually considered a natural part of the healing process. If nosebleeds are persistent or excessive, you should contact your specialist immediately.
Proper protection of your surgical site after septoplasty surgery is decisive for a successful recovery. Below are some important points to consider when protecting the nose after a deviated septum:
Three months after septoplasty surgery, many of your symptoms are usually gone, and your recovery may be almost complete. The correction of anatomical deformities within the nose can significantly improve your breathing. After three months, airflow will usually be more comfortable.
The gains achieved with a deviated septum become visible both functionally and aesthetically. Your nose is expected to have a more symmetrical and balanced appearance. Some swelling and edema that occur immediately after the operation will be greatly reduced within three months. Your nose now has a more natural appearance.
The sutures used during the operation are expected to dissolve completely within three months. As the stitches dissolve, the sensitivity in the nose decreases. Again, the crusts formed during this period usually fall off completely within three months. Your skin heals and your surgical scars, if any, become less visible.
You will usually be asked for a follow-up appointment 3 months after the deviated septum. At this visit, your specialist will evaluate your healing process and may make some additional recommendations if necessary. During this examination, your respiratory function can also be evaluated and the effects of the operation can be checked. These tests are important to determine whether the opening in the nose has healed.
It is important to remember that septoplasty is a surgical procedure, although it can be performed comfortably and easily. Each patient may experience different healing processes and the full recovery period may vary depending on personal factors. It is also possible to have an idea about the recovery period by looking at the photos of other patients before and after septum deviation.
