I was not given a saline spray or any sort of saline rinse. They have me decongestant drops and antibiotic cream. Is this normal ?
I'm getting mine done in 2 days, I'm so nervous, but watching this helps
So glad this helps! Good luck to you! the first night is really horrible but after that, it's amazing.
Any updates? Hope it went well for you :)
I have mine in two days ! I’m excited . How are you doing now?
I’m getting this done next month. How was your experience?
@@Tbone3471 How are you feeling after?
Thanks for posting this, I had a turbinante reduction and Latera mesh to help my breathing. Previously I had a deviated septum surgery when in the military. It didn't help my breathing but I also don't remember it being that painful. I am 4 days out from surgery and miserable, I don't understand the pain and I can't stop focusing on the nasal splint pain. I didn't want to take pain meds but this level of pain is horrible and I have had many orthopedic knee surgeries and a hand reconstruction surgery. One would think the hand surgeries would be worse than a simple nose surgery. I really hope this helps because it is awful. The VA did my surgery, I feel like I wasn't informed about the pain but it seems other people had a higher amount of pain than anticipated. I too sleep on my side so not getting much sleep either. Before the surgery I always wore those Breath Right Strips but they tore my dermis up, I have sensitive skin. Unsure on what to do for my tape marks, my eyes are a little black too. I have a wedding shower to go to, I hope that clears enough to apply light makeup. At this point my cheeks hurt and my teeth too. I can't taste anything, wondering if I should even go to the wedding reception.
Can you let me know what you used on your face? My entire nose is peeling now. I have freckles and the freckles on my forehead are even peeling because I have to tape my glasses to my forehead, too swollen to wear them normally. Apologies if I am rambling, I feel bamboozled by the ENT Dr. I don't have a car, I am an avid cyclist so getting around is going to be difficult. I always wear cycling glasses, they will not fit. Even my jaw is sore, my helmet strap will have to be looser than I want it.
Can you give us an update? Would you do it again? My dog's tail is a weapon, she just tapped my nose lightly and my eyes started to water. My cat loves to give sweet headbonks to my nose, I don't like to hurt his feelings but I just can't do it.
I hope to get off the pain meds after the splints are pulled. I am nauseated from the pain meds so not eating much. I wanted to loose weight but not this way.
Thanks for posting this, wish I saw it before the surgery.
Hi! I am so sorry you are experiencing so much pain, I promise it gets better. I am about a year out since my surgery and I am doing great and breathing so much better and my allergies are soooo much better. I am not a dr but I wouldn't suggest cycling at this time. I also didn't wear my eyeglasses or even contacts during recovery. I slept a lot and just stayed in bed and took it easy. I know not everyone can do that. I remember pain everywhere on my face. Once the packing came out of my nose i felt wayyyyy better. For the tape marks and the peeling I used the Turmeric Body Scrub from roxdoll cosmetics. full disclosure, roxdoll is my cosmetics line but it is truly what I used. after washing my face i rubbed a little between my fingers and then applied it gently to my face, in circular motions and washed it off. the link is here: www.etsy.com/shop/ROXDOLLCosmetics/
it is the jar with the sunflowers behind it.
I hope this helps. I think the pain medicine somehow made me feel worse. I had 2 more unrelated surgeries after this and because of how the pain meds made me feel during this surgery, i refused pain meds for the other two surgeries. again the other two surgeries had nothing to do with this one.
@@ErikawithaK thanks for the reply, the ENT office just called. They want me to come in Friday instead of Thursday to have the splints removed. My heart sank as I was really looking forward to it. I too don't do well with pain meds, I need ondansitron for the nausea. At this point either I remove the splints myself or take them and deal with being nauseated. My brother has a similar deviated septum and wants to know if I would recommend the surgery. I had to be honest with him, right now I don't recommend it. Dermatologist prescribed some sort of cream, I guess I had a reaction to the scrub they use in the op room. After I get the splints out I will order what you recommend. I can't even tolerate applying the medicated cream to my face. Any movement on my face causes the stitches to pull and hurts. I feel like the ENT should have prepared me and others better for the potential pain. I have torn tendons on my toes, I will need surgery to pin them back on and I fully expect that surgery to be more mild than these nose splints.
I'm about to have this surgery and I'm SO GRATEFUL you made these videos. Thank you!!! And now I'm all curious about your skincare!
love this! so happy my videos have helped! my skincare is on etsy if you want to check it out! xo: www.etsy.com/shop/ROXDOLLCosmetics/
Good morning, I’m on my day two of recovery. Each day gets better than the last. Firstly, I want to thank you for sharing your experience. Secondly, at what day of your recovery was you sleeping without elevation?
hi! thank you for watching! each day definitely gets better. to be honest, i cant remember when the surgeon told me i no longer need to sleep elevated, I had to have mentioned it in one of my videos. I believe it was only a few days, less than 2 weeks but I can't say the exact time because i don't remember. definitely check with your surgeon, i wouldn't want to tell you something incorrect for your situation! wishing you a speedy recovery!
I'm 3 weeks post op and it my nose feels inflamed and dry. It's hard to get a tip in there to clean. Did you experience this at three weeks?
my nose was very dry but i don't recall it feeling inflamed. might be worth reaching out to your surgeon.
I’m on day 18 and one side of my nose still feels plugged, and it feels like I can fully breathe on that side. What do you think?
day 18 is still pretty early, its less than 3 weeks. i think you are still healing but i am not a dr. if you are very worried and it doesn't get better, its worth calling the dr. office
Glad your feeling better. I’m on 3rd day of recovery.
thank you! how are you feeling?
I'm a full 2 weeks now. I have a scab inside my nose but told not to pick it. It will eventually drop out with the saline irrigation. I am breathing much
better and post nasal drip is MUCH improved.
so happy to hear!
Hi
I am going through my septoplasty today but m literally afraid of anesthesia and pain after surgery.
I hope everything goes well
I totally understand the fear. it gets better. lots of luck.
I’m 5 days out of surgery. Can’t wait until I can blow my nose again, not to mention wear sunglasses, sleep laying down, etc. I am also allergic to dust. If you don’t have one already, you might look into an air purifier. I got the Coway Airmega, about $200 on Amazon (goes on sale fairly often; black is $160 now). It has a HEPA filter and was recommended by Wirecutter; easy to use. Im always shocked at how much dust it picks up because my house is pretty clean and I don’t have pets. Anyway, thanks for your video
hope everyday gets better for you! I will check out the air purifier, thanks for sharing.
Normally they straighten the septum on a septoplasty. Also do you know if they cut out the cartilage or if they straightened it? There are different ways to do a septoplasty.
I'm not sure which they did, but I know they burned my turbinate ... that's the extent of what i was told.
I have mine coming up in two days and I’m excited! Thanks for sharing ! I’m hoping and expecting it to be a gane changer for me. I’m having the septoplasty and turbinal reduction, deviated septum on left side (only 10% oxygen there). Not looking forward to Night one but I’ll push through! Thank you again! It’s encouraging 😊
how are you feelings?
Do you have laser turbinate reduction
I don't remember anyone saying laser, but perhaps? the turbinates were burned to shrink them, thats all i really know.
Is it okay to accidentally sneeze?
Yes. Don't try to hold it in. Open mouth, let it out.
Hi , I am on day 8 of septoplasty and turbinate reduction , still getting crusting in my nose , when did this stop for you? When did the congestion stop?
My sleep has been awful and not being able to use my CPAP machine because of my sleep apnena, do you have tips for sleeping?
The crust stopped pretty quick for me. When I went for my 2 week check up the surgeon commented on how fast I healed and how I healed as quick as a 10 years old. Which is a good thing. I don't have sleep apnea that I know about, so my sleep was significantly better after the first 2 weeks. I think we all heal differently but my recovery was pretty quick.
@@ErikawithaK thank you for the reply , I used have some relief after nasal rinse , still a little swollen on the inside , 3I had septoplasty with a spur on the left side , Killian's incision , deviated cartilage and spur removed. Cartilage kept back. Right side inferior turbinate submusocal diathermy done 11 and came across about ENS and I'm petrified that I might end of getting ENS. I'm so worried I have made a mistake with this surgery , is there anything I should be looking out for, also I have lack of sleep , nasal crusting and congestion. Am I right to be worried?
@@Reecieboi1985 how are you feeling now ?
@@yahyaelmi8435 not too bad , 9 weeks out , had two infections and two doses of anti biotics and saw ENT two weeks ago and persribed a steroid spray and to keep up with the nasal rinses and post op appointment in 3 weeks. Lost a bit of weight as well which is a bonus.
@@Reecieboi1985 how is your breathing , did it improve , can you sleep better at night ?
When could u be able to taste foods?
I was able to taste food right away. Just had to stay away from spicy foods for a while.
What about your breathing compared to before.
breathing is soo much better now!
I’m on day 8 after Septoplasty turbinate reduction and bone spur removal .Im not too bad I have dryness in the nose however I can’t sleep I have few hours here and there then wake up not sure if it’s sleep apnea I hope once the splints have been removed I can sleep better and breathe through my nose
sleeping was the worst part. hope you are doing better now
how are you right now
So your doctor didn’t say you could blow your nose gently? I was told I could do this
He told me not to for the first 2 weeks. He said in general nose blowing isn't good.
Oh I see
Did you experience numbness and dryness during the healing process?
yes a bit of both.
@@ErikawithaK how long did that occur and are you better now
@@tnice15 yes much better. The dryness lasted a little longer as I was told not to blow my nose, so it felt crusty and dry... Within a week or 2 the dryness was gone. The numbness I believe was only after the surgery. I don't believe it lasted longer than 24 hours, 48 hours tops. It's been a few months and I'm doing great.
How long it took you to recover fully
I felt fully recovered by week 3/4.
I’m on day 4 of recovery and want to give up. lol
don't give up! try to take a nap. it will get better soon
