Despite restricted breathing I put off nose...

Despite restricted breathing I put off nose surgery for many years until recently--it had gotten so bad I could barely breathe in through my left nostril. The surgery itself went very well, and the recovery was actually much less taxing than I had expected. There was so little pain I only needed two pain pills the first day. There was no bruising under my eyes and no nausea. In my experience it's not often that doctors under promise and over deliver, but this is one time it actually happened. When the nose stents were taken out a few days after the surgery it was like the parting of the red sea, literally the first time in 20 years I could breathe through my nose without restriction! I'm very pleased with the outcome, and I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and his fantastic team to anyone considering a nasal or plastic surgery related procedure.
