    I'm so glad you have reached the point where this is possible and are getting full support from your docs! I'll be interested to hear all about the process as it unfolds, since I have a saddle nose, and although I don't know if I'll ever get it fixed, I can at least experience it vicariously through you!!

    Hope the surgery goes well and yields great results. I know I felt good about completing my four surgeries in past 10 months to try repair some the damage from Wegs and it's treatment. The repair should really help your morale.

    congrats. I had the surgery in febuary this year. it really is worth it. The surgery is a long time I was under for close to 7 hours. they used rib bone, rib cartlidge, and a metal plate for me. my damage was very bad. I have found that yeah my nose is still very tender but it is very close to what I use to have. I can look at my self now.

    Sounds like quite an ordeal. Glad it yielded good results for you.
