Not being able to breathe after nasal surgery...what can I do?

November 10, 2014
Asked By:Kathysume in Stockton, CA

I've wanted a rhinoplasty for years but I'm claustrophobic and the thought of not being able to breathe after surgery terrifies me. I read about the Kotler nasal airway and wanted to know if anyone had feedback about it.
