What does the recovery process for septoplasty entail?

Most patients are surprised by how manageable the recovery is. You can expect some mild swelling and congestion for the first week or two, and Dr. Law will provide detailed aftercare instructions to keep you comfortable throughout. You’ll want to avoid strenuous activity and keep your nasal passages moisturized — small steps that make a real difference in how smoothly you heal.

Septoplasty: Case Details
Secondary rhinoplasty is a welcome challenge in my practice.

This patient communicates beautifully and expressively with her eyes and smile, but her nose was distracting and causing progressively worse breathing problems.

Anatomically, her septum and columella twisted to the left, and her lower lateral cartilage on the left with asymmetric amounts of lateral crural steal and medial crural excess.
