I can't believe I'm writing one of these right...

I can't believe I'm writing one of these right nowww. I have my surgery date set up for the 29th of December and I'm starting to get nervous! I've always had such a masculine nose (big tip and a hump and I hate how it curves under when I smile) that I've wanted to get fixed. I recently went to a ENT and was informed of my deviated septum and that I have a spur in the left side of my nose. Not sure how I got this spur since I don't remember having any trauma to my nose. But either way, I was told that I barely have a passageway on my left side. So luckily the surgeon that I booked with back in June is also an otolarynogologist who does reconstructive surgeries. Does anyone know if a septoplasty can be done in a closed rhinoplasty or does the rhinoplasty have to be "open"? I really don't want scars around my nose from an open surgery. What do ya'll think? Also, I see people having steroid shots for swelling.. is that common? Is that included in the price of surgery or is it extra? If not included, how much is it usually?
Thanks ya'll!

I had a closed rhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum and to take off the small hump on my nose. During the procedure they found a cartilage plate was broken and fixed that too, all closed rhinoplasty.

I am 6 hours post op right now of an open rhinoplasty and have no pain. I personally think surgeons do a better job in OPEN rhino because they can move more and have better visuals on your septum. I only have one stitch at the bottom of my nose, and my surgeon insured me it will disappear almost completely (like you, I don't want anyone knowing I got it done.) Make sure you get a lot of drip pads because the bleeding sucks the first day. So far, I have one small black eye and that's it. I also found it's helpful to get an ace bandage to tie ice bags around face. Best of luck to you!

Good luck with everything! I had a bone spur/deviated septum also. Are you having any pain with the bone spur? I had rhinoseptoplasty and couldn't be more pleased with my results. Go with what your gut tells you!

Thank you! Ya know, now that I know the spur is there..it kind of explains why I get so many sinus headaches. Hopefully that will stop after he removes it. Supposedly the bone spur gets worse with age and allergies greatly effect it. So we shall see! Only 12 days until surgery!

Hello, had surgery on Thursday. It went really well no bruising, swelling increased from eyes to cheeks. I can only suggest the arnica 30c I was told to start 5 days before surgery & continue 5 tablets a day. Plenty of small round ice packs ready, I've been icing around the clock! It's been okay, eating plenty of noodles doc told me not to be chewing too much hard foods. The wedge pillow has been great keeps me elevated perfectly. Still relaxing! I only have a splint, Doctor didn't pack my nose I can breathe since post op.. If u have any questions let me know....good luck!!!
