Is Saddle Nose Inevitable If ...

Weg's has affected your sinuses?
Have you had sinus problems w/ your Weg's for a longer period of time, but no Saddle Nose?

No saddle with pretty severe sinus damage...lucky me...I'll sound like a frog for the rest of my life along with the ocean whenever I want it at my beck and call! LOL!

I have saddle nose.....but there is no way to predict it. Most people that have it have some nose or sinus issues to some degree.

My saddle nose occurred right around diagnosis. If they had caught my Wegs 2.5 years earlier, when it apparently started flaring, I might have avoided the saddle nose. Although I don't like it, I'm lucky that it isn't as bad as some I've seen photos of.

My nose is pretty narsty.. And as I've had sinus issues for a few years and even had sinus surgery, I do not have saddle nose yet. My nose is pretty squishy though... I hope I don't get it, but from what my doctor says there is really no way to predict whether some will have it or not. I would be devastated after all this if I ended up with saddle nose.

I sure hope you don't, Carrie! But it seems just as likely, if not more likely, that you won't get it..... I hope I am right! I don't remember having a "squishy" nose before mine occurred.

No David,, it's not inevitable. Tons of Weggies have sinus involvement but few have saddle noses.
