Deviated Septum Surgery

[carnation]

LOL! They'd better not touch the outside of my nose, that's not where the problem is! But you remember the local relative who's a perp? Hers was a nose job.

I keep hearing stories of terrible recoveries, though. I know one gentle woman who inadvertently punched the nurse who removed her packing because it was so painful.

I heard that after my surgery, but in my case the break was bad enough it caused a lot of infections not to drain when I had the adenoids grow back and my sinuses so tiny.

My nose was shaped the same, but it was no longer crooked. I didn't even notice it was crooked until I looked at a couple photos. I broke it playing sports and had no idea there was a problem. My nostrils seem a bit less symmetrical but no one but me and the doctor ever looks up my nose.

I did get a plastic piece put in, and sometimes I can feel it move, kind of freaky. the worst part of the surgery was the prep and aftercare, endoscopes up the nose are the worst, I had to close my eyes.
