A member asked:

Done septoplasty week ago. right nose still blocked and still breathing problem? am i doing hurry to get well? how long it take time to heal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

About 2 weeks: A successful septoplasty after a pack or splint removal should result in a noticeable improvement in breathing. If the nasal airway is not improved in 2 to 3 weeks after pack removal, see your ENT surgeon for an evaluation.
