    Thank you for the video. One thing I learned that helped me. My nurse did the gauze under the nose to catch the blood, but instead of taping it to my face and having to change the gauze often, my nurse used a mask. The same masks we use for covid. It was perfect. Its holding the gauze in place and changing the gauze is so easy, and I don't have marks on my face from constantly replacing tape.

While I had less overt nose pain and bleeding comparatively, the anesthesia definitely hit me harder than expected. Still super tired and dizzy on day 3 (I would absolutely fail an exam lol!), but excited to finally breathe better. Good luck with your studies!

First 6 days were like hell, seconds were likes hours, I was regretting my decision but once my splints were removed on the 10th day it was like I got a new life. Recovery time is still 2 more weeks but I feel really good now but the operation is not an easy thing to go through. First 2 days I couldn’t swallow anything. I was spitting blood which is normal.

I also woke up with extreme pain and they managed to give me more paracetamol via IV. The nasal tampons did make me panic when I woke up when I couldn't breathe through my nose at all. I'm still on day 3 after op and trying hard to breathe through my nose but I heard it will take weeks. Thank you for this.

    Watching this makes me so glad I got mine done in America! I had no pain when I woke up from anesthesia because they had given me fentanyl through my IV at some point. However, I was so nauseous for the rest of the day. The nurse immediately got me some ginger ale and a bag of pretzels, but it took me 4 hours to eat the snack sized bag. I’m on like 5 different medications: an opioid as needed, a steroid, an antibiotic, an anti-nausea, and some sort of nasal gel. I also have to rinse with saline spray & I’ve gotten myself some vasaline to cover my skin before putting on my bandage. My splints come out in two days and I’m a little nervous for that, but I’m excited to no longer have to wear the bandage 24/7 and to be able to breath out of my nose again! Thankfully, my bleeding mostly stopped around the 18 hour post op mark. I still have a little coming out, but it’s mostly snot.

So I was told the most awful way of douching - having to tuck my head completely under myself so my nostrils were pointing at the sky, the syringe the water in my nose and hold it in there for a minute before turning my head upright again. I tried doing this and failed miserably.. I don’t know how anyone could do that!!! So I just filled my syringe up and pushed water into my nose whilst I looked in the mirror then had a tissue close by to hold under my nose to catch the water. It honestly seems like it does nothing but it helps!! My packing started falling it on day 7 and 8, little clumps at a time - then I was able to breathe but couldn’t smell or taste for another couple of days after that.

    @@rodeo2009 my best thing was Q tips or cotton buds.. I used so many a day, and I just carefully went around each nostril and it caught blood, junk etc that I couldn’t physically blow out of my nose. It helped when the packing was low enough to fall out but again, couldn’t blow my nose to move it! I would also recommend douching more often. I was told 5 times a day but I was sometimes doing it every hour - maybe because I didn’t do it the ‘proper’ way but I wasn’t going to torture myself upside down!😅 By day 7, 8 and 9 things really moved and that’s when I felt like life was getting back to normal. Didn’t need gauzes under my nose, the blood stopped, packing came out etc! I now feel incredible. I’m just over 4 weeks post op and I can completely breathe through my nose, I no longer snore, I can breathe whilst I eat, drink, brush my teeth etc where I haven’t been able to my whole life. I know it might not feel like it now but it works and it has completely changed my life!!! Hopefully within the next 4ish days you’ll start noticing changes 🤞🏼 All the best, I know how awful it is for the first week 😖 Good luck, and wishing you a speeding recovery!!

    After years of being uncomfortable and chronically inflamed sinusses I underwent a septoplasty and turbinate correction last tuesday. The first night was horrible with the tampons in (my surgeon used operating gloves pushed in). So much easier to remove but still a bit painful! Also experienced a lot of palpitations the first 2 days after and felt so tired from the anesthesia for days after the surgery. Also it feels like my face is broken still after a week, medication offers some pain relief. Tampons were removed the day after the surgery and that was a huge relief. I have to cleanse/rinse the nose 3-5 times a day with salt water running it through each nostrill or you will have no air at all going through your nose. I am looking forward to being fully healed up. Definitely isn't a small surgery like some people think, they are still operating on your face. Best of luck everybody!

    My surgeon told me most docs don't use packing anymore, he said he would probably put splints in. I can handle pain, but am terrified of not being able to breathe. I have Sjogrens which makes my mouth, nose and eyes are CRAZY dry 24/7. He says use my nasal irrigation machine every HOUR and I would be able to breathe through my nose, but I'm thinking very little. So how much air could you get through your nose after nasal irrigation?? Thanks for any input, I'm kinda in panic mode about post op...

I have a Rhinohorn to rinse/cleanse the nose and still to this day use it. It is less agressive than blowing your nose. Rhinohorn is a gamechanger I have come to love it after hating it at first.

Luckily i didn’t bleed that much and no tampons. Only silicone stints in both nostrils. Pain is 4/10, bleeding 3/10. So far so good. Taking rest at the moment. Stints will be removed next week. Best part is i can breathe a bit from nose as well which is so good. I will come up with the update. Best of luck to others who’s going for this. ❤ Thank you arham for the video.

    My surgery was yesterday, and there was not much pain but had alot bleeding and it's normal to bleed after this surgery, today removed tampons and waiting to remove the wings inside, I just feel only clogged nose like flu symptoms, and sometimes get blood stain while spit saliva, Anastasia and surgery was completely fine, NO side effect, or other issue's, only while talking feel little difficult like you have cold and flu, God grace feeling better, As he said need to be hydrated as breathing is completely through mouth and it's keep dry, and u need to sleep facing up slightly head up, and not allowed to sneeze or blow your nose, Need pure rest and hydrated, everything will be fine, wish all the best to whomever going through this surgery or planning to do, waiting for the result of the future effect, take care.

I had to go to my surgeon and get drained to be able to breathe and was prescribed Prednisone for the inflammation. I’m now on Day 3, hoping to be able to sleep soon.

    I just had this done yesterday as well as inferior turbinate reducation and left ear tube implant. This was my first surgery ever. I was absolutely frightened to the point of dry heaving and crying. All I remember was breathing the gas and waking up in recovery. I wasnt in pain and didn't have a headache like I was warned could be a possibility. However the guy next to me immediately started asking for pain meds. I think it all depends on your pain tolerance. I noticed right away that the pressure, headache and vertigo I'd been dealing with the last 6 mths was gone. The most aggravating part for me is the constant dry mouth and not being able to taste. I woke up every hour to drink and urinate. This is my 2nd day. Whats hurting for me is the turbinate incision because the gauze keeps rubbing it. Bleeding wasn't too bad. I changed the gauze about 3 times and irrigated with simple saline recommended by my ENT.

I also didn't have any stents. I'm currently on Day 5 of recovery and also didn't sleep great on the first night after the surgery, but have slept better since, and I am trying to rest as much as I can and self-isolate so that I don't pick up any infections that could ruin my recovery. All the best with your medical degree.

    I had this surgery with turbinate reduction done 18 months ago here in the UK. I had NO pain after surgery. Some discomfort, but NO pain. You can't blow your nose for a week, and you won't be able to lie completely flat for about 4 weeks because you will feel everything pulling in your nose. I had no splints, and no packing (they don't use it here anymore) I had to wear a pad underneath my nose for about a week to mop up the goo. I was passing a lot of scabs through my nose for about a month (they don't warn you about this, and some are pretty big) but after 4 weeks it suddenly stopped and that was it. Even 18 months on, I still can't believe I can breathe so well through my nose. My sleep has improved, and the hayfever season was a LOT more tolerable. I wish I'd had this done 20 years ago, rather than waiting until my 40s. I have a low pain threshold and was amazed I was in no pain. I took zero painkillers after the operation as they were not needed. I could breathe through my nose pretty much straight away after surgery

I still have my splints in, so they will remove it next week. I feel fine, almost no pain (pain scale 3/10) it is a bit sensitive, so try not to touch your nose to much. Just rinse, chill and rest. After the splints removed all should be going up fast. Still keep in mind, there are cases that take a month before full healing. Don't worry it will all be worth it.. I believe. But for now I have to go to this process as well. 😊

    I had this done in my 20s & now in my 50s, I have to have this procedure done once again. Yes, he's right. The procedure itself isn't painful; however, post-op and the week following was uncomforable. Mouth breathing was hard because it dries out your mouth quickly. Drinking & eating was difficult. Inhaling & taking a breath before eating & drinking was always necessary. Prolonged chewing wasn't an option since breathing was a priority, and choking is always a possibility if you try to breathe with your mouth full of food. The most painful part of this procedure is the doctor pulling out the gauze from the insides of the nostril. Just imagine the crusted blood, snot & slime all melded with all your nose hairs & the doctor ripping all that out in a long strand. I still have tears just thinking about it. It basically looks like Kimchi when he pulled it out!

    I’ve never had a surgery before in my life, I’ve been unable to breathe through my left nostril of my nose for soo long and only recently I’ve realised that I need to get it sorted but I always felt like the NHS would never do anything, until I started my placement at a surgery place and I got a lot more information about it!! I am finally going to contact my GP tomorrow to speak about it but I’m sooo scared. I am constantly blowing my nose, my nose is constantly running, I struggle to breathe through my nose when I sleep, my nose always feels blocked and when I blow my nose a bit of blood comes out

Tror du at nesen min kommer til å se rett ut fra utsiden etter operasjonen? Den er nå skjev og sklir litt ut mot venstre. Og om det er mulig å file ned ryggen på nesebroen slik at broen blir mer rett enn bøyd under operasjonen? Setter pris på all svar :)

    I just had surgery yesterday. From watching videos I saw that when rinsing you want to make a "K" sound so you block some of the pathways and "raise the palette", this way it won't go down your throat. As for me, I did my first rinse this morning and it did not go through the other side, some blood and very little mucus came out from the same side I was rinsing
