Eye Surgery Considerations@eye-think

Day 7 after nasal valve, septum, and BM surgery. How is everyone managing care?

I’m on day 7 now, and I had incisional ptosis correction for the eyes, and for the nose, surgery for a deviated septum, rhinitis surgery, nasal valve stenosis, bulbous nose correction, and a hump. Since I was getting the functional surgery anyway, I asked them to shave down the hump a bit, and I had bulbous nose correction. They said I bled more than other people, and they said the nasal packing shouldn’t be removed the next day either, so it was taken out after 3 days. Seriously, during that time I developed panic disorder. I couldn’t sleep, and when I did fall asleep, I would wake up trying to breathe through my nose, and because that kept repeating, I got scared whenever I tried to fall asleep and even my heart felt numb ㅡㅡ I thought it would get better after taking out the nasal packing, but it’s blocked again. They said it was swollen inside or something. From the upper part of the nostril entrance, about 1/3 is blocked. I don’t know if it’s a booger or swelling, now on day 7…
