Had it done this year. Bleeding not much took place in hours after surgery. Can't remember about the breathing but I had no problem breathing next day. Worst part was having to use cream, spray and drops for the following two/three weeks.

I was operated years ago ... but at that time had no nasal perforation, so the risk that the operation generated a perforation was very low. Now having a medium perforation the risk of enlarging it is high.
Were you operated with or without a nasal perforation?

With a perforation.

With a perforation.

Thank you. And how big was your hole before the operation and after the operation?

There was no hole before surgery, a sore in nose had to be cut out first, it caused the perforation. I had splints in nose for a few days.

I understand now.
My case is different, thank you for responding the same.

Hello DonPapotti and All,

Not sure if this is helpful but I had a devidated septum from a fist fight in high school.

I was rejected for Air Force Flight School until it was repaired.

Repair was done and I was unable to breath through my nose for 2 to 3 weeks and had a lot of bleeding.

Healed up fine ... finally .... and elected to go to Navy Flight school and become a Marine on graduatioin.

Perforated septum? Like a nose ring, or something else?

perforation in the septum is due to many causes. Mine is getting hit after straightening my nasal septum 10 years ago ... and using nasal sprays to breathe.
Thank you all for answering!!
I hope someone has had an experience similar to mine, since I do not want to lose my nose breathing I am very SCARED
