Answer Snippet
I had surgery in November 2017 to remove a concha bullosa, shrink my turbinates, and
Not a likely cause of pain
Jul 9, 2018
Once a concha bulls is removed (with appropriate surgical technique) it does not come back.
Facial pain related to an acute sinus infection will typically subside with appropriate medical therapy (antibiotics, nasal rinses, nasal steroids, etc). Facial pain alone (not associated with an acute sinus infection has multiple causes and should be investigated appropriately as it generally not caused by a sinus problem.
I had sinus surgery almost 7 weeks ago. Should I still feel like my sinuses are swoll
Can be normal after surgery
Jun 14, 2018
It is not uncommon to feel congested following nasal surgery although several factors may be contributing to ongoing symptoms.
1. Different methods of turbinate reduction (ie. submucosal resection vs cautery, etc ) may contribute to prolonged congestion. Turbinate reduction with an energy source (ie. cautery) may cause a significant amount of crusting that will cause congestion.
2. If it is a bad time of year for your allergies, this may cause more congestion.
3. It is…
6 weeks post op Septoplasty- Nose deviation
Best to check with your surgeon
Jun 5, 2018
Swelling after septoplasty or rhinoplasty can last several weeks but it rare for swelling to be causing the septum to be deviated or nasal obstruction this far out.
Like any concern, it would be best to check with your surgeon
Deviated septum, trim down bump.
Rhinoplasty
May 22, 2018
Your concern does correspond to a standard Rhinoplasty procedure that can be performed. Pricing will depend on location and the clinic you go to. It would be easiest to schedule consults with surgeons in your area and have them give you an exact appraisal based on their particular clinic.
What could be the cause of my nasal congestion 1.5 years post open septorhinoplasty?
Positional congestion
May 22, 2018
Certainly an exam is indicated by your surgeon or a Rhinologist (ENT specializing in nasal and sinus disorders) to rule out the causes of congestion.
Based on the fact that your congestion is worse when laying on the left side and improves when rolling over, it does sound like inferior turbinate congestion and may be amenable to turbinate reduction. RF turbinate reduction is safe and effective with minimal chance of Empty Nose Syndrome.
It would also be important to rule out a structural…
Can medical insurance pay for my nose issue?
Rule out other causes of headaches/sinus pressure
May 22, 2018
Generally what people describe as “sinus pressure” or “sinus headaches” is not a sinus problem in the first place. The majority of people with this problem are suffering from migraine and or muscle tension headaches that will not get better with sinus surgery (or will gain a temporary relief based on something known as “cognitive dissonance”).
If you have a history of snoring, it is important to rule out sleep disordered breathing or sleep apnea.
Other causes of headaches, such as TMJ…
Crooked nose after septorhinoplasty
Should followup
May 19, 2018
It certainly looks like the tip is asymmetric more than one would expect with just swelling. It would be helpful to followup with your surgeon and document your concerns with them and compare your pictures now to pre-op photos
