Concha Bullosa surgery

2022-07-27 14:00:18
How long does it take to recover from a concha Bullosa surgery. I'm thinking of getting it done coz it causing me problems breathing, focusing while reading and headaches too. I've heard it's a minor endoscopic surgery and  doesn't take much time to recover. Is it possible for me to go back to work on a Monday if the surgery happens on a Saturday? Are two days enough for recovery? Because I just started a new job and can't take leave

Probably u cud under go the surgery when there is some holi or Xmas or eid.. U wud get additional leaves of those days.. So this 2 days cud b extended to 4 days... As of recovery depends on ur health, the care given, ur healing capacity and multi factors.

Usually isolated conchoplasty is a very small procedure. Most times it is a part of Sinus surgery or done along with septal correction. Post these nasal surgeries, nasal packs are applied inside your nose. Nowadays most surgeons use absorbable nasal packing that do not require to be removed. However if your surgeon uses merocel or traditional nasal packing that will be removed after 48-72 hrs. So ideally you can go back to work once the packs are out after 2-3 days.
Next Steps
Use a lot of saline nasal drops post surgery to avoid crusting.
