Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: I loved this procedure and I definitely think it was worth it

ORIGINAL POST

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty

Elizael
Two summer ago I had a combined rhinoplasty and septoplasty after breaking my nose for a second time. I went to meridian plastic surgery as I was referred by a friend and Dr. Perkins did my surgery. He was impeccable. Just incredibly kind, walked me through the entire process, and followed up with me in the following months throughly. On the day of my surgery I arrived, signed paperwork, then I was put under for the surgery. They both fixed my deviated septum and removed a bump on the top arch of my nose. When I awoke I had a cast on my nose that I wore for two weeks and as a part of my post treatment care Dr. Perkins gave me a complimentary glycolic facial for having the cast on my nose for so long. Recovery is rough as I couldn’t exercise at all, I could not bend down, or sleep laying down at all. Sleeping was the worst part as I mostly felt sure sore no actual pain it just felt like I had a numb headache for the first week and the cast definitely looks super dramatic when I had to go out and buy groceries. Getting the cast off felt amazing though I love my results. My nose was massively swollen for the next two months though but seeing it without the bump just felt so good!!! I loved this procedure and I definitely think it was worth it my only suggestion though is to understand the time off you may have to take and understand working out is just totally impossible for a few months so just be aware!
