After surgery, there are often blood crusts, clots, and debris which must be removed from the operated sinuses in order to prevent scarring and promote proper wound healing. In order to ensure a good long term outcome, the operated patient should continue to irrigate with saline several times a day as recommended by the surgeon.

Typical post-operative visits are one week after surgery, then two weeks after surgery, then one month after surgery. Depending on how the body is healing, visits will either continue on this pace or become more spaced out. Medications will also be added and removed as the body is healing.
