Hey guys!

I had revision septoplasty on Thursday 22nd and have had a pretty good recovery so far. The first time I had this surgery the Septum deviated back to the right and blocked my passage even more than before and I am worried the same has happened again. I know there is a fair amount of swelling on the surgery site but since rinsing I can see that it is still very much closed compared to the left. I cannot contact my surgeon as UK healthcare doesn't really work like that but I am really annoyed at the prospect of having it done for a third time. I was just wondering what the risks were with having the cartilege mutilated for a third time would be and how likely it would be to work for the third time?

Cheers
Liam
