Hi Shornell! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have to ask, did you have packing that needed to be removed the next day after surgery? Also, did you have stents placed and removed a week later? You didn't mention those so I wonder if they sometimes do this surgery without placing stents.

Hi, Thank you for your video. I got my septoplasty surgery done on Tuesday 20 April. I have stiches, did your stiches dissolve by themselves or did your surgeon remove them.? Have you had any issues with your nose post surgery? Thanks

Thank you for this video. Your hair and skin look amazing!!

Thank you for sharing your surgery; it really helps. I'm nervous about my surgery and seeing others' experiences helps. Also, it may be weird, but you remind me of Emily from the Corpse Bride by Tim Burton. You got her eyes and lips.

So i just had my procedure done about 12 hours ago and here it is 130 am. And i just cant sleep so i found your video and found it very informative. My nose is completely clogged and my mouth is also dry and lips getting chapped, basically, everything you described. Its really nice to see how much improved you were in a relatively short time, so i cant wait to be there myself. I hope everything has been great for you since and thank you for sharing your journey through this.

I have had surgery - septoplasty, turbinate reduction and sinus surgery, I’m now on day 10 of recovery. I can breathe through my nose now (although the inside of my nose feels very dry) but I’ve noticed that when I breath through my nose I get a very dry/sore throat (upper part of the throat that is linked to the back of your nose). Did you experience this? And if so how long did it last for?

I’ve got my septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery scheduled for the 11th of April and I’m so so scared for it. I had my appendix taken out last year and due to conditions I have, and the medications I was taking at the time for them, it took a really really long time to recover. I’m no longer on those medications anymore, but I still have the conditions, so I’m hoping the process it easier this time round - but it’s really scary not knowing what to expect.

Hey there-Shornell, I will be having the same thing, I have had sinus issues for 8 + half very long years-and whenever I did bring up about sinus issues not one of them mentioned about a CT/X-ray scan but when I had an MRI scan it did show my right side of my nose was perforated but nothing was said about that but about no tumours etc! 😡 BTW-I'm also from the UK in England so will be having th is all done via the NHS, Anyway had all these appointments cancelled due to Covid which was super annoying and would get burning sensation through my nose constantly for years-had my CT scan had my results from telephone today and said I have a cyst/Polyp in my right nostril under my eye and a misaligned septum! So he was booking that and should be ready to sort out in a couple of months. 😁 I knew burning sensation was due to sinus infection but as it was constant for years and didn't go then knew that the crooked septum interferes with drainage of mucus from the sinuses into the nasal cavity, this can be a prime environment for bacteria to grow, leading to repeated episodes of infection and inflammation in these spaces! Where in England you from- I'm in Kent between Dartford/Bexleyheath way! Prob have it done at Queen Mary's Hospital-Sidcup or at Darent Valley-Dartford-update got told in a letter will be having it done at Darent Valley Hospital-how comes you got to go to a priv hospital?? lol

I have to get this done as my entire nose is 90% blocked and they thought it was asthma for two years! Did you have to get stents put up your nose or was it just the padding taped on!

I had this all done today on the NHS, would have rather had the splints than dissolveable packing as dissolveablee just adds a really sticky substance of it's own to your mucus and dry scabs so the congestion is worse! I was told not to rinse by a doctor for a week, nearly 4 days in and I'm in A&E with an ENT doctor picking two hard dry blood scabs out of the entrance to my nostrils & secretions and debriment out of my nose that just sat there for days drying up under the packing, they told me I should have started rinsing as soon as! Suppose that's why you went private, you managed to avoid complications lol.

Did your nose shape change at all?

This was super informative omg. I’m on day 5 of recovery and I’m really concerned bc my nostrils look huge and I’m scared it’s gonna look like that post op? I get the stents taken out in 2 days so maybe it’s just a lot of swelling. I just really hope it didn’t change the appearance of my nose :(

Hey @Hanna, thank you for sharing your experience. How's the quality of your sleep now? Do you feel like it's noticeably better than before having surgery? I'd really appreciate it if you answered. Thanks!!

I have a question for you Hannah, I'm having the same surgery in a month and I will be getting stents put in, do they help with the breathing post op. My doc says if I use my nasal irrigation machine every hour I'll be able to breathe, not sure to what extent, but he says no packing so hopefully I can get some air through my noise. Not being able to breathe makes me SO CHLOSTROPHOPIC, that is my biggest concern. Did you try Sudafed for congestion post op? Did that help? Thank you.

@Shornell Stacey please explain to me .what are method doctors reduce your Turbinate..? Doctors use radio frekuensi or Microdebrider?

I guess I'm on day 1 surgery was yesterday. I will be glad when my nose is clear. I also have sleep apnea I had a Nasal mask

How quickly did your taste/ sense of smell come back? X

My sense of smell didn’t really go, it was more of the fact that the gauze was under my nose 24/7. Whenever that was off my sense of smell was fine. In terms of taste probably about a week

Thanks for your vlog. I am 2 days post op and i am miserable and scared. I have lots of post nasal drip into my throat. My nose is stuffy and runny. I cant sleep. Scared to sneeze or blow. I feel like i wont be able to breathe normally again. When my nose starts to dry it gets tight and i wonder if i should wet it more with saline or just let it be dry and crusty. Now I am hearing about this ENS stuff and its got me afraid. I havent slept. I will be glad when this is OVER. I have so many concerns. My nose is very stuffy, sore and runny.

I went through the exact same thing! I promise it will be okay, it feels like you will never go back to normal but you will. It’s amazing how fast the body heals itself. So just hang in there, make sure to clean it with saline spray twice a day and use a cotton bud gently to clean out any bits than can come out, instead of blowing your nose. Let me know how it goes xx

@@edu6032 Everything is fine. I do sleep better. However, my nostril on the deviated side has collapsed due to all the years of having asymmetrical airflow. So, that muscle is weak. It's ironic that I had the septum surgery to correct the issue but now my nostril collapses which still affects the air flow. It collapses when I inhale deeply/strongly. Also, there is still a minor funny bone feeling when I touch the cartilage on the bridge of my nose since the surgery. I will say this...I was told I could go back to work 2 days after surgery. That was ABSOLUTELY FALSE. That's an extensive surgery that creates LOTS of discomfort. Oh, and don't use Afrin post surgery. That stuff should be banned. It burned my throat and nose so bad. Whole ordeal was a horrible experience. Worst surgery I have ever had.

Were your nostrils uneven while you were healing? If so, did they return to normal?

@@maryanndominguez9553 I’ve been really good, completely healed. The surgery itself went great but I ended up getting a fairly uncommon complication that made the first week of recovery utter hell. Uvular Necrosis, basically they cut off blood supply to my uvula when they put the breathing tube in. My uvula swelled up and then the bottom half proceeded to shrivel up, die, and fall off. Worst of all is that the anesthesiologist said that there’s good chance it’ll happen again when I inevitably get another surgery later in my life. Hang in there, after you get the splints removed and you can actually breathe through your nose, things get a hell of a lot easier.

I should say, I do when I have allergy issues which BECAUSE of the surgery I get harsher allergies but I can take a pill and it helps! Honestly, for ME I'll take some allergy congestion with mouth breathing over daily mouth breathing! I am also learning how to "breathe through my nose" a lot more since I was used to small and slow intakes of air but maybe that's normal? lol The recovery was painful but I got better after a month! I also posted a video on my channel if you're interested! I hope that helps, stay well! :)

@@AleOmalley Thank you so much for replying! About learning how to breath through your nose, I recommend you to use tape on your mouth. Just a tiny bit touching both the lower and upper lip. That way, you gain consciousness about having your mouth closed, and then it carries on into your sleep. I haven´t tried that myself yet because I´m still 100% a mouth breather... I'm going to watch your video now, cheers!
