What are some things i should know after having deviated septum and sinus surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irrigate/followup: Deviated septum and sinus surgery have come a long way over the past decade. Now most patients don't need packing and don't get bruised or swollen on the outside. But it important to follow instructions and not strain or do strenuous activities for a few weeks after surgery. Irrigate with saline regularly and keep your followup appointments so your surgeon can make sure you heal properly.
