I've had a deviated septum since I can remember, probably around 7. I am now 17 and the doctor said I won't be ready for another 2 years time which is really depressing me. The cartilage has deviated towards the left and is fully visible from an underside view as well as me being practically unable to breathe through the nostril yet still I can't have the op done, could I persuade him to do it this year?
I'm getting my deviated septum fixed in a few months w/ the Berger Henry ENT specialty group. I'm only 16 & I'm very nervous for the surgery, mainly b/c I'm concerned w/ the possible complications tht can occur. Since I'm getting my turbinates reduced, how long is recovery time? And will the appearance of my nose change after my septum is fixed? My ENT is quite brief, which also slightly concerns me. Doctors, if you have any information/ reviews regarding this specialty group, please inform me!!
so im 13 and i have a deviated septum, my moms nose doctor told her that i couldnt have surgery due to my age and because i have no breathing problems, he also said that it could fix itself over time. is this true because i have the most assymetrical features ever due to this problem, assymetrical lips, eyes, nose even face shape. Questions: what can i do about the assymetry (it really bugs me)? is what the doctor said true, and why cant i perform a surgery if its not getting fixed by itself?!
I've been planning/dreaming about having a septoplastic surgery when I turn 16(spring, 2016)to repair my deviated septum and to also correct my nose to become more aesthetically pleasing.However, with the concern of school, I don't necessarily want to arrive with black eyes and a brace.(I'm very self conscious and shy.)I'd imagine that summer and winter break are the busiest for this, so when should I plan to book an appointment in order to get a spot?And would I recover before school resumes?
I understand that it's best for children to wait until their facial structures have matured before undergoing cosmetic/aesthetic surgery.Being almost 15, I'm thinking about having this surgery over the summer of 2016.I started puberty at a fairly young age(about 10)and I've had my period for almost 4 years now.I'm willing to wait longer if necessary.And if that's the case, when should I consider to do this?I have minor breathing problems due to a past injury, but it's still noticeable.Thank you.
My son is almost 11 years old and he has total nasal obstruction. He also has severe allergies from dust and pollen and his nose is constantly blocked causing breathing problems. He has to always breathe from his mouth. His ENT suggests a Septoplasty surgery. I'm concerned that he's too young and he's nose structure is still growing. The ENT says that by not doing a surgery now, he's facial maxillary will not develop properly. Is 11 years too young for this surgery?
In March, I am going to be getting my deviated septum fixed. I just got a couple questions about this surgery... -Is it normal to get the surgery at 17 years old? Does it hurt more when you are younger, or older? - I got 2 bumps in each nostril (which makes it hard to breathe), is this normal? I have only had these since June, they keep getting bigger. - Does this surgery hurt? -How does this procedure go? -Are there any pro cautions I should take before and after my surgery?
