I've had sinus/septum/turbinate surgery twice. The first time was a HORRIBLE experience from a doctor that didn't give a shit. Worst experience ever and my condition didn't improve at all. So 2 years later I had it done again by a pro and wow what a difference.
Yes, you should plan to basically be laid up for a couple days and fairly inactive for about a week. The first couple days post-op do suck, but for me it was worth it.
Just make DAMN sure to check the docs references! I'm serious, call some people he's worked on or get a referral from a reliable source...
Oh and BTW, my second time around the doc did not use packing thank god. On my first surgery the packing basically healed to the inside of my head and I had to wait about a month before it disolved (they couldn't pull it out). It was awful!!! If you can find a good plastic surgeon (rather than an ear/nose throat specialist), they have different techniques.
