  • When a deviated septum is severe, it can block one side of the nose and reduce airflow, causing difficulty breathing. This handsome young man had the problem his entire life and he didn't realize he could not breathe through one side of his nose. If you have similar problems, #septoplasty is your best option. #rhinoplasty #nosejobnyc

    I got mine done 8 days ago, and feeling similiar, really good breathing, now realising how a normal person breathes. Have never ever slept well like am doing nowadays. First 4-5 days are really tough, as the nose gets packed, after that it's really very good.

      @jessemiles5856 Recovery was really hard but very short. I recommend you try to drink water even though it's hard. I got the septoplasty because I have chronic allergy like symptoms every night, regardless of the season or what country I'm in. Unfortunately, I can't say that it's given me any relief at all from them. I get a strange sensation in my nose now when the symptoms start, almost like a burning that I never felt before. Rumour has it that now a national health service has been introduced in my country, doctors are very eager to refer you for any kind of surgery since it's all government funded now. But this is just my own experience, and I understand it can be a great relief for some.

    I had my splints removed yesterday and surgery done on Wednesday. The congestion and swelling is absolutely infuriating. Right now I’m breathing worse then I was before my surgery. And the worst part is is that this congestion is said to stay for at least a few weeks. I hate how I was breathing fine after the stints were removed and now it’s all swollen and congested. This feels very contradicting and a waste of my time.

    We are in the end of times. Repent of your sins and turn to Jesus while there is still time. Jesus IS THE ONLY WAY as it states in the Holy Bible to receive eternal life. The signs are all here that He states in the Holy Bible. Pray, fast and serve others. In Romans, believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of GOD and He died for your sins and rose on the third day and you will be saved. Return to GOD, The Only True GOD, The Creator of Heaven and earth. We are not promised another day on this earth. I'm here for any prayers.GOD bless you. Jesus loves you enough to give us time to turn to Him.

The best time for me is when I’m dead asleep cause I can’t feel anything on how fucked up I feel. I wish I never had this surgery done!
