I had a septoplasty done to help my breathing and it was unsuccessful the first time. Basically the septum started moving to one side and looked much worse than before the surgery. I had a revision surgery with a different doctor and it went well. My nose doesn't have the flexibility it once did on one side due to the spreader grafts but oh well. I'm still having sharp, wincing pains on septum if I move my nose in certain positions while eating.. or if i sneeze or cough. HELP!!!
