You : You should be able to read on work on your computer the day after surgery. Septoplasty isn't terribly painful. After anesthesia many people will mainly note that they're more tired than normal for a couple days.

You : You should have very little downtime.Probably the next day you can use your laptop.Ice for the areas around your eyes are good especially if you had your nasal bones broken.www.beautybybrueck.com.

Following : Following septoplasty, you should be able to work and/or read on your computer. You will be swollen and have some mild pain, but that should not prevent you from using your computer. Good luck!

You : You should be able to read or work on your computer 24-48 hours after your septoplasty. Most people feel this is a small price to pay for the improvement achieved.
