It is usually available from the 5th day. However, it is preferred that silicone nasal dampers remain in the nose for a longer period of time in the following situations:

 

• When a nasal surgery is performed with a septoplasty operation, edema may occur in the nasal meats for up to about 1 week, and on the 5th day, there may be a risk of adhesion sites between the nasal septum and the nasal septum. For this reason, when the two operations are performed at the same time, the silicone nose tamons should be kept for at least 7 days

 

• During the septoplasty operation (especially in patients with traumatic septum deviations or traumatic septum broken lines), if the bilateral mucosal perforation occurs while the septum cartilage is removed (nasal septum perforation), these areas can be repaired by mucosal flapping or cartilage graft shifting techniques during surgery. Silicone nasal dampers can be held in the nose for 2 weeks or more in order to avoid contact with the air and to provide mutual stabilization of areas where septum perforation is repaired

 

• Silicone nasal dampers can be held in the nose for a long time during septoplasty operation in patients who have severe curvature of the septum or patients who undergo surgery for septum deviations as part of an operation such as revision rhinoplasty.

 

You can stay in Turkey about 1 week after the septoplasty operation in Istanbul.
