Worth Every Penny
I had septoplasmy for a deviated septum more than 20 years ago and to make a long story short. It was botched pretty bad. I always had a big nose, but as I got older, my nose just started to hang and I always had breathing/sinus issues throughout my life.
I also had what I can only describe as ledge that stuck out inside the wall my left nostril and I had an indentation on the outside where the ledge was internally.
I had two consults and decided to go forward with Dr. Most because he was pretty frank about the severity of my nose where the other doctor I met with was a bit too easy going about it.
I actually met with Dr. Most twice before finally agreeing to move forward with the surgery that took place on November 15th, 2017.
The surgery team was awesome. I tend to vomit after any aneste and was definitely nervous about that. The anesthesiologist was awesome putting my IV in, (I seriously hardly felt a thing) but I was mostly appreciative of him adjusting my anesthesia so that I didn't get sick. I had some nausea, but that was about it. (You rock, Sir!)
I had little support in my nose, so a piece of my rib was taken out and used for support in my nose.When I woke up from surgery... I could literally BREATHE again.
Now the healing was an experience in itself. Lots of mental hurdles to get through. I obviously elected and very much needed to have this surgery, but the first week was probably the hardest because my nose was covered with a splint but yet I could see more of my lip because my nose was no longer hanging like it used to. So if you tend to have a hard time with change, be prepared that your nose will obviously look different and it will need time to properly heal and it may take a bit to wrap your brain around the change. (I know everyone is different, but this is how it was for me.)
My nose probably healed 75 to 80% within the first couple of weeks and then really took the full year if not a bit more to fully settle in. My nose would periodically swell a bit in different places. At one point it looked as though I had a bump on the bridge of my nose, but I think it was just all swelling, because it's pretty much gone away now.
Dr. Most was pretty up front that the surgery I had wouldn't correct my chronic sinus issues, but my nose is so amazingly functional now that I can totally tell the difference from what I was dealing with before. Now I have actual structure to my nose and it looks pretty cool, too. It's a shame that there isn't a picture that captured what my nose looked like inside, versus how amazing it is now.
Thanks again to Dr. Most
