my nose is swollen and tender after septoplasty kindly help
hello septoplasty is corrective procedure the wound on your nose will heal fairly quickly and your breathing is likely to improve shortly after the procedure however the overall healing process can be slow cartilage and other nasal tissues can take up to a year to fully settle into their new shape tips for a quicker recovery include elevating your head at night to keep the swelling down not blowing your nose forcefully after surgery wearing shirts that button up in the front so you will not have to pull clothing over your head also remember to avoid hot cold and dry air slow nasal breathing exercises after permission from your surgeon can help recovery faster nasal rinses if advised should be continued wishing you speedy recovery
