After my procedure I noticed the cast was crooked and that’s never a good sign. In the middle section of my nose I could feel a sharp point. And one side of my nasal wall felt cracked and caved in leaving my nose looking like a hook. The inside of my nose what separates the nostrils is slanted to the sides that’s collapsed.
