I'm about 20-months post a septo/rhino procedure that had in NYC. Unfortunately, I'm not happy with my nose as it's deviated to the left (clear in photo that it's asymmetric). Per the surgeon that performed it, there's swelling and repeated steriod injections may help. Unfortunately, I can only make it back to NYC once every 6 months.
