FAQs
Will I have packing in my nose?
Dr Padhye uses dissolvable packing where possible, so there is rarely anything to remove.
When can I return to work?
Most patients return to desk work within a week; physical jobs may need 10–14 days.
Is the surgery permanent?
FESS opens the sinuses to allow ongoing topical treatment; medical maintenance is still important long-term.
