Fractured Nose? He's Your Guy - Chicago, IL

I’ve had 2 procedures with Dr. Moynihan – open reduction nasal fracture with spreader graft and septoplasty for a deviated septum. I fractured my nose at the end of May, and had one repair with Dr. Moynihan to set the half that was fractured straight, and then 3 months later a second procedure to set the other side straight and create symmetry. After the first surgery I had nasal packing which was really painful, something I hope never to do again. But with the second surgery I had a nose cast afterwards that was much easier to live with and less painful. I didn’t even need pain meds the second time. It’s still early but I can tell my nose is straight, I’m breathing normally and it feels normal. There’s a little tiny bit of healing left and a tiny bit of a bump on the right side but that should go away with time.
