Hi all
I saw the surgeon yesterday at ENT Addenbrookes. He went through my options for surgery, and it sounded like a lot of work, he would lengthen the dorsum and this and that...it sounded very painful.
He asked me how much having this saddling had, i said alot, it affects me greatly every day.
He had a bit of a fiddle and looked at the perforation. He said maybe the best option for me would be fillers instead of surgery, as the saddling doesnt affect my breathing and its really just the appearance that bothers me.
He said he wouldnt do anything til there was now doubt i was in remission as he didnt want to cause a flare. At the moment my PR3 titer is 2.3 CRP8 and ESR 26. He's going to write to the head honcho Dr Jayne in the Vasculitis clinic so maybe i'll actually meet him myself the next time i go!
He said if i did go for the fillers they could put in some semi permanently which would absorb and go after 3 months or so and if i liked the way it looked he would do some that were more permanent.
