When to Have Rhinoplasty with Septoplasty | Dr. Angela Sturm

[@MelindaMatturro]

This answered absolutely every question I could’ve ever had about this procedure! Thank you so so much!

[@Pianosnail12]

I’m having both next Wednesday, kind of nervous but been waiting years for it. Thanks for the advice :D

[@bhavyavijay1635]

Is your nose perfect now or u have some breathing issue?

[@Pianosnail12]

@@bhavyavijay1635 man it’s been a struggle mentally more than anything. I go to the gym 6 days a week, really helps me in life. So it’s been 6 weeks now and I’m only starting to do light training again. But breathing wise it’s sooo much better, and looks better although the swelling is still there. Thanks for asking

[@Pianosnail12]

@Creating Contentment with Kimberly England yeah I’m happy all in all. Breathing is so much better, life changing in fact. It’s still a little swollen in places so will have to wait a while for the final result looks wise. Good luck with yours though, it’s really not that bad!

[@Pianosnail12]

@Creating Contentment with Kimberly England pls do, good luck !

@@Pianosnail12 hii dude how are you now? And can you share your detailed experience about surgery and its healing till now

[@Fall2YourKneez]

I got septorhinoplasty and it changed my life !

[@sanchez5963]

How was it? Did it suck? The process I mean.

[@Fall2YourKneez]

@@sanchez5963 it was a horribly uncomfortable recovery process, but well worth it in the end.

[@sanchez5963]

@@Fall2YourKneez I can deal with uncomfortable, but was there pain?

[@BruceWaynge]

@@sanchez5963 I got it 2 weeks ago and its only painful for about 3-4 days after the surgery but thats just because they accidentally cut a few spots when doing the surgery. But even 2 weeks after I still have blood dripping from my nose and going down my throat and it was very painful and messy to have the splints removed but only 10% of the people who get this surgery have a splint so if you don't get one then you are one lucky son of a gun but in the end its all very worth it, after about a week after the surgery I felt I could breathe better and wasn't getting congested as bad as before but I still have to tape gauze to my face because of the bleeding but besides that I think its pretty worth it.

[@DaisySK43]

I just had the same 5 days ago Septorhinoplasty due to a Deviated Septum. I am happy that I was able to breathe immediately after the surgery! Furthermore, I have a new nose as my nose is hump free and straight. Just going through the post surgical symptoms which is nasal dripping/feeling flu like but I have decongestants. Overall happy and recommended but requires patience as it has a long recovery.

[@sauloz88]

I just got SeptonRhinoplasty yesterday 3/24/22. No pain at all. No pain after I woke uo from surgury, no pain now after 27 hrs. hopefully it goes like this.

[@jewelzsparkz]

Can I ask how much did you pay out of pocket,and if insurance covered anything?

[@sauloz88]

@@jewelzsparkz my insurance covered apparently. I remember I received the approved letter from them like 1 month before surgery. The dr said that for me to have a optimal result, she will have to straighten my nose so the insurance should approve it.

I would like to discuss few things with you 1. Had DNS , Crooked nose 2. CRS worsened during last 5-6 years 3. Underwent septorhinoplasty 2021 plus right FESS done 4. 2022 again 2episodes of sinusitis 5. Regularly on medical therapy 6. Left middle concha bullosa . OMS blockade. Right lamellar middle concha. 7. Constant symptoms blockade, poor sleep, headache. 8. Last 15days again sinuisits ( pansinusitis ). MSSA isolated. What's your opinion? For persistent CRS problem 1. Middle conchoplasty with FESS ( how likely is the success rate according to your experience over the years ) 2. *Do you prefer to reduce inferior turbinates along with FESS* ? ENS chances?

[@Ambersworld03]

will turbinate reduction cause empty nose syndrome ?

[@simdave7165]

Hi Angela , I have no smell and minimal air movement in my right nostril caused by a significant caudal deviation to the right which essentially obstructs the right nasal vestibule. Do you think septorhinoplasty will give a good functional outcome? And is there a risk of losing the sense of smell altogether with this surgery?

[@dogsrulecatsdrool5635]

You have taken away some of my fear! I have a septorhinoplasty tomorrow! 😳🙏🏼

[@ariamacias128]

How did it go? Did you have to get an ent and plastic surgeon or just one surgeon? I’m so confuse I am getting approved for septoplasty in 2 weeks and want to know if I also need to see a plastic surgeon if I wanna have them both together

[@dogsrulecatsdrool5635]

@@ariamacias128 I will be honest. I hurt SOOOO bad after and now the doctor says it takes a YEAR for all the swelling to go down. No one said that before surgery. That being said, I guess I’m glad I did it. Get a jar of Vicks to rub under your nose. It helps with the pain and dryness. Get a humidifier and get a vaporizer that takes healing oils. I am doing SOOO much better since I got these things!!! Sleep with both on and you will do fine. It’s a hard road, a rough surgery, but I’m glad to see the changes in my breathing and I like my “new” nose. 🙏🏼👍🏻💐

[@dogsrulecatsdrool5635]

@@ariamacias128 I had one ENT specialist who did both. I would love to hear how your surgery goes! Prayers for all the best! 💜🙏🏼🌸

[@pattardi6258]

Doc Is there a higher risk of having a rhinoplasty done when I have septoplasty & turbinate reduction for sleep apnea, (from a united states ENT / Plastic Doctor) ? I have severe sleep apnea, tonsils & uvala removed, now my airway dentist says if your having septo done you might as well have the rhino, does this increase the risk of a failed septo / turbinate reduction or for that matter increase the chances of success because the ent plastic surgion can shape my nose favorable to function better?

[@Sparqoah]

Very well explain. Thank you, Angela

[@JenLovesBenz]

I seen a ENT and I'm getting surgery for Rhinoplasty and Turbinoplasty. She's straightening it and getting rid of a small bump. Can you straighten it without septoplasty? I'm kinda confused about that 😅.

[@DrAngelaSturmMD]

It depends on if the part that is crooked is the bone or cartilage or both. You can straighten a nose without a septoplasty unless the septum is very crooked and is what is holding the nose to one side or the other.

[@POKEFAN023]

I’m guessing rhinoplasty is to straighten it or is it the other way around?

[@annettekeys6071]

I’m scheduled for surgery August 8. How did your turn out?

[@shawn_in_toronto]

Thanks for all the information!

[@Smiley_101]

I always have to forced my Breathing harder and I know it not normal . It’s nice to know is two diff one .. however , where I live surgeons are not that great n this type of surgery u just don’t go to whoever even if it insurance cover

[@keslynnguyen9649]

I think I need this.

[@steveellis1237]

My wife had this done and she’s happy with results other than sneezing fits, is that normal?

[@DrAngelaSturmMD]

That can happen, but sneezing is usually related to allergies

[@poisonspder]

Empty nose syndrome
