I have gone through Septoplasty and turbinoplasty 1yr ago but still my nose is blocked , I have to take mondeslor 2 times a day and Ativan for good night sleep. Surgery didn't help much. Surgery can't fix allergen reaction.
Thank you for your comment! I am so sorry to hear that! I know that results vary from person to person and I am lucky to have found relief. I also know that surgery can't fix allergies, but I think the cyst that was removed and having the deviated septum caused a lot of irritation in my sinuses which intensified my allergy issues. I am 1 year and 4 months post op and this is the time of year when my allergies would kill me and I'm breathing freely with just a daily Zyrtec. Prior to surgery, no matter how many allergy meds I took I never felt like they worked for me. I truly believe that the the fact that I couldn't breathe through my nose for so many years caused a lot of my issues. Especially because your nose has hair that catches some of the allergens and when you only breathe through your mouth, you don't have that filter. Does that make sense? I'm sure you have but have you talked with your doctor about the issues your are still having? I am wishing you well and hope you find relief very soon! ❤️
Hi how are you today? I had polyp surgery 6 months ago and since I developed scar tissue inside me left nostril and I suffer chronic dryness and bad pain, I’m going to get this removed asap
I didn't have much facial pain, other than discomfort from being congested prior to the surgery but after I healed, that discomfort was gone. Hope that helps!
I'm doing wonderful! Thank you for asking! Usually at this time of the year I would be miserable with allergies but they have barely bothered me at all. I really think the polyp was causing most of my allergy issues by causing irritation in my sinuses all the time. I am breathing through my nose perfectly and am sleeping better as well. I don't have any pain from the surgery and everything healed up nicely. This surgery literally changed my life! Have a wonderful day and thank you again for thinking of me!
@@dweebz07 I'm so sorry you are having those complications! Have you called or messaged your doctor about it? I had a polyp that was removed along with the turbinate reduction. My face was swollen slightly for a couple of days but icing the area helped a lot. Please keep me posted on your recovery and I hope the swelling goes down quickly!
@@AshleyKunzArtist i been going back to the surgery doc and its always ohh should have gone down to breathe now. Then cleans it up and tell me he see me in few days. My right nose have not seen daylight and it gets to you thinking its worst then pre surgery.
Did your surgeon tell you to stop using Afrin “Before” your surgery? And if so, how many days or weeks were you told to stop using it. My Doctor wants me off Afrin for a full month prior to surgery, and boy am I miserable 🤕
For me I felt really good by week 2 but would get some phantom pains for about 6 months after. No congestion after the stents (stints?) were removed. I hope you get relief soon but maybe send a message to your doctor to see if there is something you can do to relieve the pain and congestion. Sending you lots of healing thoughts! ❤️
Sorry I missed your comment earlier. Did you go through with the surgery or cancel it? I'm so sorry you were scared of it. I feel great today! Sometimes I get an itchy feeling inside my nose that is annoying but my airway is clear and I haven't been sick or had allergy issues nearly as much. I know the thought of empty nose syndrome is scary, but please talk with your doctor about your concerns. There are risks with any surgery and for me, I couldn't continue living without being able to breathe properly. Sending you my best!
I can assure you that all physical activities are much easier after having the surgery! I can breathe much better and feel better overall too. Also just want to add that 30 minutes of any rigorous activity would make most people out of breath 😁
Thanks for sharing your experience!
turbinate reduction & septoplasty won't get rid of your allergies

Hope you are getting better. How it's going with you?
I'm doing great! Thank you for asking!

did you have facial pain prior to getting the surgery? and if so did it go away after the surgery
I didn't have much facial pain, other than discomfort from being congested prior to the surgery but after I healed, that discomfort was gone. Hope that helps!
The older you are the longer it takes to heal
How is your breathing/recovery?

@@AshleyKunzArtist is polyps different from turbinate? I got turbinates reduction and its been 2 weeks of swelling complications

@@dweebz07 How do you feel now?
Did your surgeon tell you to stop using Afrin “Before” your surgery? And if so, how many days or weeks were you told to stop using it. My Doctor wants me off Afrin for a full month prior to surgery, and boy am I miserable 🤕
I never used Afrin before surgery. I am so sorry you have been miserable! How did your surgery go? Have you found relief?
I rely on afrin too. How did your surgery go?
Did you develop any mucous in the throat during recovery ?
I didn't have that issue at all. Everything drained out of my nose (thankfully)!
how many months it took to heal swelling completely ?? i still feel congested and pain in nose after 3 months of surgery
For me I felt really good by week 2 but would get some phantom pains for about 6 months after. No congestion after the stents (stints?) were removed. I hope you get relief soon but maybe send a message to your doctor to see if there is something you can do to relieve the pain and congestion. Sending you lots of healing thoughts! ❤️
@@AshleyKunzArtist when you say phantom pain do you mean like numbness here and there?
@@tnice15 It was more like a quick sharp pain that would last for less than a second.
@@AshleyKunzArtist did you experience dryness and numbing while healing?
Did you heal now
How are you feeling today? My surgery is in 2 weeks and I am scared to death
Look up empty nose syndrome my friend
@@lowtier01 I have done a lot of research on that and ende dup cancelling my surgery

Is sex better after Deviated Septum Surgery? After 30 minutes of rigorous sex, I can't breath. Asking for a friend...
I can assure you that all physical activities are much easier after having the surgery! I can breathe much better and feel better overall too. Also just want to add that 30 minutes of any rigorous activity would make most people out of breath 😁
that asking for a friend at the end caught me off guard lmao
