Rhinoseptoplasty+ Ear Cartilage Removed

I’ll start by saying that if I’ll ever have to go through nose surgery again in my life, it will be again with Dr. Chouake without even blinking

I had my surgery with Dr. Chouake on May 14 2024, after a triple bone fracture on my nose caused by a fist. I couldn’t breathe and my nose was completely out of shape. I was scheduled to have the surgery with an other physician long before May 14 2024, but I postponed from personal reasons and my physician got pregnant, and this is how I met Dr. Chouake and I can’t be more happier, it’s the best thing ever happened. He saw me only twice before the surgery, we talked and he was so patient and he calmly explained to me everything and that I might need cartilage from my ear or ribs or from other person in order for me to be able to breathe again and have a normal shape, I explained to him how I would like my nose to be and short after I went to surgery.He came to see me before surgery and reassured me everything will be ok and I’m in good hands. He also told me he hopes I won’t need to have cartilage removed but I gave my consent to do so in case needed during the surgery. My surgery lasted 6h and I woke up breathing on my nose I just couldn’t believe it after so long, even if I was so confused from the anesthesia, but finally breathing on my nose. Of course minutes after that my nose started to get full because I was moving my head all over and I had the stitches inside, but I was feeling ok and no pain at all. He also removed cartilage from my ear, and I didn’t even realized until a nurse told me to stop scratching my ear because the doctor removed cartilage from there, pain 0. I went home same night and followed doctor’s instructions. Second day I was swollen a little and 3rd and 4th day a little more but nothing scary as I was expecting. I’ll post you few pictures from the day the doctor removed the stitches from my nose and few days after, at not even 2 weeks and my nose was looking so good and I was breathing perfect. I’ll be grateful to Dr. Chouake for life for what he did for me! Not being able to breathe on my nose was affecting my daily life, my sleep, headaches every now and then, it was a nightmare, and now thanks to him I feel normal again and my nose looks just perfect!
