WORTH IT
I have had chronic sinus infections for years and years. I also, never liked my nose. I was looking for a doctor that specialized in facial plastic surgery and that I trusted to perform Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty. I went to a consultation with Dr. Daniel Ward at Form Med Spa. I was very impressed with him right off the bat. I got into surgery the day and time I wanted. It was very painful and uncomfortable, because I am allergic to Percocet. I didn't realize I was allergic to Percocet, until I took it. Luckily they prescribed me some anti-nausea medication, which helped right after I took it. No problem with Dr. Ward, but I have feedback for the head nurse. I was prescribed hydrocodone, because Tylenol did not even touch my pain. I was prescribed 20 Hydrocodone, come to find out it's the mild form, so I easily took 2 every 4 hours. It would have been helpful to have valuum or something else to help me sleep through the pain, because I didn't sleep for a few weeks. I had to leave the splints in my nose for 2 weeks, because my perforation was so big, so I didn't get much sleep. Dr. Ward apologized for that, but the head nurse that was in charge of prescription medication was way too stingy. I don't take pain medication, but this pain was intense. As I look back it was well worth it of course, but my suggestion is to discuss a back up plan in case Percocet does not agree with you. Everyone is different with their recovery, but I guess your genetic makeup can determine how much pain you feel after the surgery. My nose looks great for only having surgery 6 weeks ago. Dr. Ward did an amazing job, so I recommend him for any type of procedure. I can tell I'm fighting off a sinus infection and I don't need antibiotics and my nose is not clogged, which is a big deal! Dr. Ward made slight changes to my nose, and it looks natural, so I'm glad I chose him as my surgeon!
