Q. Is the septal cartilage bent? Is the nasal lining swollen? Is this a side effect of nose surgery?

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO and lead surgeon of Kowon Plastic Surgery, where confident and elegant beauty blooms.

Today, I received a question from someone who started having concerns after nose surgery and wanted to know whether it is a problem with the septal cartilage or swelling of the nasal lining.

Q. Is the septal cartilage bent? Is the nasal lining swollen? Is this a side effect of nose surgery?

I had nose surgery 17 days ago.

I had not looked closely inside my nose, but a few days ago I saw that the septal cartilage seemed to be bent to one side ㅠ

At first I thought the lining inside one nostril was swollen, but isn’t swelling of the nasal lining already gone by now..? ㅠ

I do not have any discomfort when breathing, but it does seem like breathing is not as easy on the side where it appears bent.

Externally, my nose does not look crooked.

Can the septal cartilage become bent after nose surgery?

I am very worried whether this happened as a side effect of the surgery.. or whether there is inflammation and the nasal lining is swollen..

Can something like this happen?

The exact answer can only be known by looking directly at the condition inside your nose.

That is, whether the septal cartilage is bent or whether it is due to swelling of the nasal lining.

Also, the nasal lining may still be swollen.

Because of that, you may feel discomfort when breathing.

Depending on how the nose surgery was done, if the septal cartilage was not touched during the operation, there is a strong possibility that your septal cartilage was already bent originally, and it was simply discovered after surgery.

If that is not the case, and it was a problem that did not exist before surgery, it would be better to visit the clinic where you had the surgery and check whether it is caused by swelling of the nasal lining or by a deviated septum.

Most people have a septal cartilage that is somewhat bent to one side.

If there is no appearance problem and no issue with breathing, it may be a good idea to wait and observe it for a while.

I wish you a good result.
