Sinus-related surgeries- Septoplasty, Rhinoplasty,...

Sinus-related surgeries- Septoplasty, Rhinoplasty, Turbinate reduction, tonsillectomy, palette shortened. I was having difficulty sleeping and a number of illnesses stemming from my throat, including excessive coughing.

The surgeries have corrected the coughing and illnesses but I know I still snore. The surgeries were also very painful and I almost died due to a morphine overdose.

I am considering getting my nostrils reduced as my doc admittedly under-corrected since I was already having 5 surgeries. I want to know what I can expect in pain, downtime and visible stitches, scars and bruising if I have this type of surgery.

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

The pain was unbearable and the doc should have told me he was not correcting my nostrils since I paid to also improve the appearance of my nose while addressing heath concerns.
