11 months, still no improvement

WORTH IT$21,000
The fillers injected unfortunately made my breathing worse, so I went back in to get them dissolved. I had consultations with 2 different ENTs as another surgery will likely make things much worse. The last option available is an in office procedure called Vivaer, which will cost an additional $4,500. The procedure may or may not work as it would only create an additional 1mm space inside the nostril, at best.

Hiya, are you going to have this Vivaer done? I’d love to know if it was worth it. I had two rhinoplasty 12 years ago and can’t breathe through my nose, I remember the surgeon asking me if I wanted to breathe through my mouth or my nose, for the life of my I can’t remember what I said.. such an odd question

I'll most likely do it, trying to see if I can have the VA cover it

Still no improvement on breathing, we're attempting fillers to secure the nasal valves, but no luck. Now that the swelling has subsided more, I have noticed that the nasal bridge is very much still deviated as shown in the pictures provided
