A member asked:

Can scar tissue after septoplasty block nostrils worse than the original deviation? I seem to scar really easily. I have a horrible scar on my arm from a previous, minor surgery. If I have a septoplasty, could the scar be bad enough to cause worse problem

A member asked:

What should I know about the first few days after septoplasty? Is there a cast or just gauze with tape under nostrils? Anything else I should expect?
