My "beak-like" nose needed to be shaped, but I was afraid the surgery would hurt too much. A friend talked me into getting it done after hearing me complain one too many times. If I would have known how easy the recovery was, I would have done it a long time ago! The surgery was only about an hour and a half; I was totally asleep. I had to wear a splint on my outer nose, but nothing on the inside. (I had heard some doctors pack the nose, but Dr Zavell does not do that. Thank goodness.) The worst part of the whole experience was me not being able to blow my nose. The splint was removed a week after my surgery and then I only wore it at night. Noses take a long time for the swelling to be completely gone, so I had to be patient, which I am not. I could tell right away, though, that the hump on my nose was gone. After a few weeks, voila...a beautiful nose!!

Fabulous! So happy for you! Did you have to sleep propped up for the first few nights?
