FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will I strictly need to attend my highly routine follow up cleansing appointments?

Because the statistical biological risk of scar tissue returning remains a strong possibility you will need to attend routine surgical surveillance appointments consistently until the internal cavity heals completely securely.

You must absolutely never stop utilizing your prescribed daily targeted rinses early because doing so drastically increases the statistical risk of massive painful scabs returning completely safely inside the nose.

You should strictly avoid aggressively blowing your nose initially and forever rely on gently sniffing backwards and spitting the fluid out ensuring the forceful air does not painfully blow the internal stitches out safely.

If you ever experience a severe sudden urge to sneeze you must actively keep your mouth completely wide open allowing the forceful air to exit your mouth rather than aggressively damaging your delicate nasal passages safely.

Because this specific precision surgery strictly targets the internal dividing wall and ignores the external nasal bones patients absolutely do not experience the classic black eye bruising associated with cosmetic procedures securely.
