I had a major rhinoplasty in April of 2022. In August of 2023 I had a “minor” revision because I was still having breathing issues on my left side. My surgeon felt the nasal cavity on my left side was too small and that was what was causing the breathing issue. He enlarged it using a bone saw.

I need relief.
