Rhinoplasty recovery: What to expect?
in Health ·
I have a few quick things on my mind...
1. I’ve been dealing with some really strange breathing issues through my nose lately—to put it simply, it feels like there are these little bubbles inside my nasal passages blocking the airflow, especially when I'm trying to sleep, which forces me to breathe through my mouth instead. Does anyone know what might be causing that?
(Just a side note, I'm actually scheduled to have my tonsils removed soon, so could that possibly be related?)
2. On top of that, I'm not exactly thrilled with the look of my nose, and I feel like it throws off my whole facial balance... if I decide to go through with a rhinoplasty, do you think I can find a skilled cosmetic surgeon right here in the Midwest, or should I plan a trip to Washington, D.C. or somewhere similar for better results?
I won't bother asking about the costs since it looks like they hover around $2,200 🙂
p.s. regarding that first question, I did mention it to both my primary doctor and my ENT specialist, and while they both hinted at something being called polyps, they didn't give me any real specifics.
cheers!
