I : I wouldn't expect your final septoplasty results to be affected by whether you sleep on your side or not. You may find that you may have some increased nasal congestion (than you would otherwise have) initially after surgery but either way you should get to the same endpoint of healing regardless.

Usually : Usually after a septoplasty you can sleep on your side right away.Usually there is a packing inside your nose so there is no problem sleeping on your side.www.beautybybrueck.com.

You : You should be able to sleep any way you like after septoplasty, as long as your head is sufficiently elevated. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.
