So long story short about 3 years ago I underwent surgery for a crooked septum. The surgery was miserable (I've had surgeries in the past) but this surgery left me bruised and nauseous for several days. I also told this doctor since I was undergoing surgery anyway to straighten my nose and make my tip smaller. He over scooped my bridge and did not bother touching the tip which left me with a very round tip and it does not fit my face at all.
A year after that I broke my nose .. ughhhhh .. and completely ruined any work the doctor did on my sinuses. My nose heeled crooked and more round then before. I was so upset!
So I went in for my allergies to an ENT specialist and when she looked up my nose her reaction was "how are you breathing through that pin hole".. this confirmed I wasn't just going crazy .. i really cant breathe at all! When I'm at the gym I sometimes feel like I have to take out my music in order to catch my breathe. I sleep with my mouth open now and people have told me I snore! I neverrrrr used to snore. And I am so used to pulling on the right side of my nose to breathe that I catch myself doing it in conversations hahah It sounds so stupid but its the only way for me to get air up there!
I finally made an appointment to meet Dr.Kassir because I have friends who have had surgery with him in the past and had all good things to say. I booked my septoplasty with him and am anxious and excited. The surgery is scheduled Nov. 15 Kassir said he is going to build my bridge back up because my right nasal is collapsing .. ew! make my nose straight the way I want it and bring it closer to my face.

I know your pain! I hope you get the result you long for, remember judge a surgeon by their gallery of noses (most of them have to be really good results for revision cases) and if your not fully impressed move on!
