FAQ ABOUT NASAL AIRWAY SURGERY IN COLUMBUS:
While a consultation is needed for proper diagnosis, common reasons include lifelong breathing difficulties, previous nose trauma, or unsuccessful prior nose surgeries. During the exam, Dr. Nogan will evaluate both the outside and inside of your nose to determine the best treatment approach.
The first week involves some limitations with work, school, and physical activities. Stitches and a cast are removed after the first week, and then most patients can gradually return to normal activities over the next few weeks as they continue to heal.
Surgery typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Patients can return to most activities, including work and exercise, within 1-2 weeks after surgery.
