i had a deviated septum fixed, as a side effect of a pituitary surgery (lol twice).
my nose was not my biggest concern afterward. actually they did it different each time.
the first time, the stuffed both nostrils and sinus's , with gauze, and i had some sort of humidifier on my mouth all day, then they removed the gauze in one big pull after a couple days. it hurt, but was nothing too bad.
my breathing afterward...
HUGELY IMPROVEDi used to snore very loudly, now i dont think i snore at all, and my nose works a ton better.
the second time i think they lightly gauzed one side, then used a "trumpet" on the other side.and i could breahte thru my nose right away through the trumpet. i wont tell you the part where it sort of slid out and some intern jammed it back up my nose. that was very bad.. er i mean. yea i won't tell you. make sure it doesnt slip out :P
both came out easier a couple days later
not too bad. of course not pleasant either, but they'll give you pain killers
p.s. i went to boston the second one, and they were experts at mass general. dr. swearingen especially, but all around it was really a lot better than here at the new haven hospital (st raphaels) just my personal experience this one time of course.. er two times
i notice you live near there, so i'd say your prolly gonna be in experienced hands, they do those surgeries all the time
