Septo-rhinoplasty to deal with breathing issues

ORIGINAL POST

Septo-Rhinoplasty

RoseR93
WORTH IT
I am going to be having a septo-rhinoplasty to deal with the breathing issues I have had for years, as well as cosmetically fix the shape of my nose. I have issues breathing out of the right side of my nostril, and I always sound nasally, as well as sinus problems. Cosmetically I want to reduce the size of the hump and lift the tip. The doctor I have chosen has overall positive reviews and is who I was referred to from my family doctor, as he is an ENT as well as a cosmetic plastic surgeon. Post- op is when i will share who my doctor is. My surgeon did hear me out and was able to assess what would be best for me, althought it felt a bit rushed for a procedure like this i rather have an expert at the craft and lacking in the social department then vise-versa.

Great Experience with my Septo-Rhinoplasty

RoseR93
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Antoniak and all of the staff. From Abby who helped coordinate appointment/ surgery dates throughout this pandemic (I felt like they stayed in touch with me and kept me assured even in these unprecedented times), and nurse Sandy who conducted my pre-op, and of course Dr. Antoniak. Everyone was extremely professional, friendly, and made me feel informed and comfortable. I had a septo-rhinoplasty and I am one week out, minimal bruising and swelling and no pain. The results already are natural and subtle, and I look forward to seeing my final results. I would recommend Dr. Antoniak to anyone who has breathing issues and would like to improve the aesthetic appearance of their nose. I will also likely be returning for various skin concerns I have as they have many procedures and products that can help clear your skin. Thank you!

Hi did OHIP pay for your surgery.

Hi, No they did not, as what I had was a septo-rhinoplasty, so some was for function but also i paid for the cosmetic part.

11 days post op - photos and how i'm feeling

RoseR93
I am almost 2 weeks post op. I am still quite swollen, more noticeable from the front view. I love my side profile. I am still stuffed up but I know it could be a few more weeks until I am able to breathe properly. I have no pain as of now, my nose just feels tender and somewhat "foreign". I will update again on week 3 and week 4. I also have been having extremely oily skin since cast removal. Hoping that subsides as well in the coming weeks.
