September 2, 2012
Asked By:SLO2012

Hello i had my surgery 9 days ago from a ENT doctor she shaved my bone spur down and gave me a tip graft which has fallen alot since 3 day ago. Im worried about the bone spur because the doctor left some layer of bone there and you can see it im feeling like all that was for nothen i heard bone spurs can grow back is that true when its shaved? and will my tip continue to fall? What are my options now for my insurance to cover any revisions since the surgery was already done under breathing?
