Septorhinoplasty - El Paso, TX

I have to say that my experience has been pretty bad since i Had my septorhinoplasty. The reason i went through with this surgery was because at times i had difficulty breathing. My septum was pretty bad deviated, and supposably the Dr who refered me to Dr. Korzec said that my septum had lost strength and was falling to my right. Which now i have found out thanks to this website that, that wasnt true. It was assymetry. Bummer!!! I had my first consultation with Dr Korzec and he examined my nose and told me what was wrong. I also told him what the other dr had told me regarding my septum collapsing to my right. and well he didnt say anything about assymetry and how as humans sometimes we will find out that one side of our body isnt adding up with the other and that is normally fine. So to make things short we talked and he asked if I wanted him to do some work on the appearance of my nose, I didnt think my insurance was going to pay for that part but when i found out it did i went ahead and said yes. 

I had this bump on my nose that had bothered me since i was a young girl, but i did not have a problem with my tip even though it was bolbous. During our talk he said he was going to shave the hump " a little", and narrow my nose a little. I agreed because i didnt think he would distort my nose as bad as he did, since I had seen his previous work and many of the patients noses were hardly changed. Well when the cast came off, he didnt even let me see my nose. And when I saw my husbands and sisters face it just let me know right their that something was WRONG. When i got home i saw this overly thin nose super assymetrical with nostrils that were just so off. I literally looked deformed, and of course i was pretty swollen. But I just couldnt believe what the Dr had done to my nose up till this day it makes no sence to why he had to take too much cartilage off from my nose? It has been very hard since that day. I hardly go out, for the holidays i am being pretty reservative because i am so ashamed and emberrased. 

This experience has affected me in so many ways that i no longer feel like Me. I am 3 months post op and some drs here have said that as my swelling goes down my nose will only get narrower. Now that is something I aint looking forward to. I am planning on a revision in the future after i heal but i am so traumatized by this experience and am afraid of it getting worst. I really recomend you dont rush into this if you are in the lookout for a surgeon, go to many surgeons before making your final decision. Just because insurance is going to pay for it dont mean you got to settle to the first surgeon who comes your way, get picky ask questions, be as descriptive as you can about how you want your nose to look and what you dont want to be changed. And last if your gut feeling is telling you not to do it then listen to your gut feeling so you wont be regretting it like me. Also if your Dr dont seem to have good bedside manners get out of their and dont look back and i am sure you will find a dr that has good bedside manners and will give you what you are looking for..
