Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Hey everyone, I haven't put up any pics since 7 days post op, so I thought I would post some new ones. You can tell that my right side is still alot swollen from my profile pics. I also posted one of my lips relaxed, so you can see the gap there, and one of my lips closed. It's still getting better, so who knows what the end result will be. You can tell though that the swelling on my right side causes my right side of my lip to come up more. Also, take a look at my nose, you can still see its crooked at the bottom. Note how the bottom middle of my nose does not match up with the middle of my front teeth at all, it's more like a tooth over. I really didn't want to get that septoplasty re-done, but it looks like thats my only option. I can feel it's still way off, even though I've regained about 30% breathing capacity. The thing is, although my surgeon did an awesome job with my jaw (look at the huge difference in gumminess from pre to post op), I am not sure if he's the right one to redo my septoplasty, since he obviously didn't do it right the first time! My hubby says that my surgeon should either do it himself for free or pay for it since I have to get it re-done. I, on the other hand, would like to just go to an ENT and get it done right and have insurance pay for it. (since I've reached my year max out of pocket this year) However, I don't know how to approach my surgeon on this, he's obviously going to know I went to another doctor, and I don't want to offend him because he did do such great work on my jaw. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
