Maybe: While the incisions made inside your nose for this procedure are healing, you may see a number of unusual sights inside your nose. Continue using the sprays/irrigations your doctor recommended and go back to see her/him if you have additional concerns so that you get the best care.

Can scar tissue after septoplasty block nostrils worse than the original deviation? I seem to scar really easily. I have a horrible scar on my arm from a previous, minor surgery. If I have a septoplasty, could the scar be bad enough to cause worse problem

A member asked:
How, exactly, does a septoplasty fix a deviated septum? Does the surgeon take off some cartilate from the side with the smaller nostril? Actually cut off and move the whole septum? I'm confused and don't really understand the explanations i've read.
