So I finally decided to get my nose done The only problem is I'm terrified because of packing and IV needle. I have phobia from needles, there are any bills that can put me in sleep before they put the needle in my hand ? Also I can't handle the pain of taking the packing off my nose. I'm contacting my Dr via Email and it's hard to share my fears by this way. I just asked him if he use packing and he said yes which was so disappointing for me because it's my biggest fear and concern :(

Dear birdbath34, I would speak with your surgeon regarding the usage of saline spray. Whenever a surgeon prescribes a medication or over the counter medication then directions should come from the surgeon regarding usage. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
From what I can see and what you are selecting from the models, elevating the bridge, preferably with diced cartilage in fascia and then narrowing , supporting and reinforcing the tip should take you in the right direction. The septum which is deviated would be a good donor site for the cartilage.
I am afraid that you are correct, in that, at 8 months there is little chance for you nose to become less crooked than it is now. The issue may be due to internal scarring and continued bending of the supportive cartilages. You will have to decide if it is worth considering additional surgery ...
