Asked By:jackob in Europe

I developed nasal polyp it didn't respond to steroids (flicsonase Currently I am unable to breath through the nose completely most of the time of the day. I have an operation in 4 weeks. In ny CT the polyp is pretty big and stratches a lot too. I find myself blowing my nose in wierd ways so I will be able to take the snot, liquid out (shrink my face etc etc...). Am I being freak thinking it might alter my face shape or something like that, and even if so , will it all return normal once its out?
