June 21st! Septoplasty Booked! - rescheduled for Dec 14th- Edmonton, AB
I am 22 years old and I have always had a problem...
I am 22 years old and I have always had a problem with my nose ever since I broke it when I was 12. This huge bump formed and never went away. Not only did I have that but the breathing out of my left side has become so restricted that I finally had enough and decided I needed to do something about it. When I was 18 I had a little surgery done to try and repair the blockage that provided a little change but nothing anyone even noticed and my breathing was fine for a bit and then it became restricted once again and twice as worse. That was my fault for not researching and being clear on my goals and just being naive to a surgeon. This time is different, I feel like the time is right and I can really prepare myself for what is ahead. I would really love the support of you guys during this time as some people who do know just don't understand and are not for it and I feel that it has been more of an uphill battle against them to get here then the actual surgery itself! I will try to post as much as I can! My doctor was professional and straight to the point, he didn't tell me anything I wanted to hear just the truth and spent lots of time explains and going through what would happen and my outcome. He was very blunt and even called my nose manly at one point but I'd rather have him then a kiss up. The staff there have been amazing and really have been helping me every step of the way!
If anyone can comment on their experience with ope...

Hey guys, I ended up having some issues that...
I am about 7 hours post op and honestly feel fantastic. I was dizzy when I came to and needed some medicine but I've since been realsed and had a nap and have major swelling on my nose and under eyes but no bruising so far.. So fingers crossed!!
I will keep you guys updated and post pictures :)
