Swimming After Septoplasty Operation





First of all, it is not appropriate to perform septoplasty under the age of 18 and my dear girl model in the photo above 😌.

I would like to briefly give you some information about swimming after the septoplasty operation. If you go to clean seas, you can swim in the sea after 2 weeks. It is ideal to wait 2 or 3 more weeks to dive. I generally suggest that pools that are cleaned by chlorination should not be entered for 4-6 months.

If you plan to dive in the sea half an hour ago, pull a handful of sea water into your nose and let it dry without pressure (you can do this several times), you will notice the feeling of relaxation in your nose after waiting for its drying. If your nose is still clogged and is not open with sea water or spray, it is not appropriate to dive.

Apart from this, you can stay for a long time in the sun during noon hours and increase your nose bleeding risk.

Entering the clean and blue-flag sea waters is beneficial for the acceleration of intranasal mucosal healing, the early fall of the crusts, and the re-normalization of nasal functions. In this way, you can find many clean beaches in Istanbul. This photo was taken in Arbavutkoy, Yenikoy Beach.
