What should I do if my nose is not ventilated after nasal septum bending operation?
Hello, this friend, nasal septum correction under nasal endoscope is generally not a simple nasal septum correction, but a partial resection and plastic surgery of inferior turbinate. If it is compensatory hypertrophy of middle turbinate, it will also be treated to some extent.

Generally speaking, once the nasal septum is surgically corrected, the effect should be good if there are no technical problems. Your main consideration for ventilation now is going to turbinate hypertrophy. As far as the treatment of inferior turbinate is concerned, it has always been the focus of endoscopic sinus surgery. Too much inferior turbinate treatment leads to empty nose, and too little inferior turbinate treatment leads to poor postoperative ventilation. Generally speaking, the removal of inferior turbinate is generally based on the experience of the attending doctor, not less.

If the ventilation is still unsatisfactory, it is recommended to perform partial inferior turbinectomy again. Some patients will have a second operation within one or three years after operation, and then the inferior turbinate will be properly treated again to achieve reasonable results.

I wish you a good recovery, but you can ask.
