Successful Rhinoplasty

WORTH IT
For many years I've had difficulty breathing through my nose along with some appearance related issues. As a result I developed chronic insomnia which negatively affected my life. Since I had been advised that surgery should be a last resort, I tried all sorts of things which actually made the problem worse--eg sleeping more upright to improve breathing caused a neck injury and sciatica. I finally decided to see Dr Alexander to correct the breathing issues and improve the general appearance of my nose. It's now 3 months post op and I'm very glad to have taken this step. I have had a very natural looking functional rhinoplasty and I can now breathe at night. I still have allergies but the allergy meds now work where they weren't working before. I don't wake up at night unable to breathe! Grateful to Dr. Alexander for the improvements and happy that I did take this step.

Things have continued very well. I'm glad to be able to carry with normal activities like driving the car (which I couldn't always do when severe sleep deprivation took hold), and getting involved with activities that I enjoy without the concern that I may be unable to follow through. I guess perhaps the fact that nasal steroids used to work and then stopped working for no obvious reason was a red flag that the problem was physical and no amount of allergy medication or changing brands or saline, would work. I think this is important for doctors to consider when advising patients.
