Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Steph, I'm in Michigan too:-). I just had my jaw surgery a week and 1/2 ago, and I have to go in Saturday to get a septoplasty, as the surgery left me with a deviated septum. I'll let you know if I have a better experience:-). I think having it all done at once may actually be better for you because of the nerves being damaged from the upper, you may not feel the pain from the septo/rhinoplasty. I was numb from my eyelids to my lips from the upper. > > > Hi everyone - I'm about a week post op and am doing ok except > that > > > now some of the swelling is gone I'm pretty much sure that my > nose is > > > permanently tipped up now.
