I had a septoplasty on Nov. 18th by Dr. Irvin Weisman. He's amazing! His bedside manner was more than anyone could ask for. I had a deviated septum and a large bump on my nose. I couldn't breathe very well out of the right nasal cavity. I was really excited/nervous/anxious/scared/happy at the same time. I have a daughter and this was the 1st surgery I was doing after she was born. I knew I was in amazing hands yet still felt all those emotions. The moment Dr Irv walked into the prep room all my nerves and feelings subsided. I woke up after surgery in the recovery room. Overall I didn't feel pain it's more just a sense of being uncomfortable. I went home and started my recovery process. I bought arnica from whole foods as well as a humidifier to help lessen the dry mouth from only being able to breathe from my mouth. I slowly saw my bruising lessen and 80% of it was gone after a week.

Hi! I've been looking through your posts and they're so great and informative! P.s., you're beautiful before and after the procedure, but I'm so glad that you're pleased now! My doctor wants to perform a Septoplasty on me this summer because my septum is deviated to the left and it causes me to have constant headaches and sinus infections. I live in Canada and the procedure is free for me, however I was wondering if you just had a Septoplasty or if you had a rhinoplasty as well? (or did your doctor just change your appearance while he was doing the septoplasty)

Wow, what a change! You look beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf as I'm sure you'll help so many others looking into septo-rhinoplasty. Love your idea of a humidifier for keeping your airways from drying out too much. Why didn't I think of that???

Please keep us updated as you continue to heal.

Anytime lovely. I know how hard it is to want results now and the swelling to go away. I hope your recovery process is quicker than mine.

I went to see Dr Irv all is well my nose is hardening and feeling a little more tighter. The cold weather doesn't help so I always carry extra nasal drops. But other than that so happy with my results
