How long after septoplasty can i go out in public? i've read that recovery from septoplasty is a few weeks. is that for full recovery, or is that how long i have to wait before it's healed enough that i can go back to work or out to dinner?

If : If you're only having a septoplasty you can probably go back to work after a few days. The recovery depends on your pain tolerance and whether your surgeon uses any packs/splints in the nose. I try to avoid using packs or splints as that usually helps reduce the amount of discomfort after surgery.

Assuming : Assuming no weork is doen on the exterior of the nose you can go out in a day or two.The doctor may put a pack in your nose and you could go out after it is removed.www.beautybybrueck.com.
