Breathing seems worse
Hi everyone. I had primary with Dr.G in December 2018. Looks wise my nose looks way better, but I am concerned about my breathing. It is now July 2019 and It seems as though I am getting still getting less air on my left side than before surgery. Has anyone else experienced this and had improvement? I can pull my nostril to the side to open it up and I get way more air. Will I need a revision or will this improve over time?
3 weeks post op
I had my primary rhinoplasty three weeks ago and the recovery wasn’t bad at all. I had residual bruising for two weeks and my whole face was swollen for about a week. I didn’t need pain pills after the second day. My nose gets a little better every day and I’m happy about that but I still can’t breathe well out of my nose. Has anyone else had trouble breathing out of their nose at three weeks? When could you breathe well out of your nose?
Update- Rhino w Dr. G
I had surgery last Friday and it went well! Dr. G met with me quickly before surgery to go over what he was going to do. Honestly, I was not a fan of the pre-op nurses. They were not comforting at all and gave me no information. When I was getting the IV I made a comment that I hated IVs and the nurse was so rude about it and acted liked she’d never heard of anyone not liking an IV. Keep in mind I was totally nice and I’m a very easy patient. The post-op nurses were great! one of them in particular was fantastic. I didn’t see Dr. G after surgery but his office calls to check in. Overall recovery has been easier then I expected and I only used pain pills the first two days. I’m taking Arnica and drinking pineapple juice. I do feel dizzy sometimes and the congestion is awful but I’m not in pain which is good. My bruising is pretty bad but getting better and the swelling in my eyes is gone except for about 20%. Not bad for day 4. I do have one concern that I’m freaked out about. I have a weird sensation in my foot. It feels like there is a pad of water on the top of my foot and it’s slightly numb. I don’t know how else to describe it. I called Dr. G’s Office and they said it’s not related to surgery but I noticed it they say after so that seems awfully coincidental. I can’t really see my results with the cast and swelling but hopefully it’s all worth it!
