    They didn’t put you under for that?? God Almighty. My septiplasty was brutal but successful so it was worth it for me. At least they had the decency to knock me out for it.

      Nope. I heard others tell me they were put under. It was a small practice. I didn’t know any better. Retro spec should have looked up surgery before agreeing to it.

        I think some ENT’s like to downplay the severity. I was told “we’ll do it on Friday and you’ll be back to work on Monday” which was completely unrealistic.

        Recovery time is more like 7-10 days.

          No shit. You don’t realize how much you blow your nose. Especially in hot shower setting. Then not be able to do it for over a month. Due to surgery post op instructions.

          I will not try to fix my nose again. It is what it fucking is. Lol
