wasn't sure if it would be better to post here or on the cosmetics board, but since i had a lot of sinus stuff done, thought i would try here first. on tuesday, i had rhinoplasty, septoplasty, turbinate reduction and polyps removed from my maxillary and frontal sinuses. I was told i would be mouth breathing for a couple of days and then "stuffy" for a couple of weeks, I can't get any air whatsoever through, i'm doing nasal irrigations, icing, etc, but it feels like my nasal passage is cemented shut. i went to the doctor yesterday and he was like "just give it a couple of more days", is this normal to be so shut? The swelling is almost non-existent now on the outside, so i would think the inside should be starting to go done some. I do have splints and a cast on top, but was told the cast doesn't really stop air from going in, true?I had my turbinates done about 9 years ago and was breathing fine in a couple of days, so this has me really freaked out. Anyone have any idea how long before i get some air???
