Hello Everyone
I don't post on here a lot but recently had saddle nose surgery and wanted to share my experience with everyone. I know I was very curious about it prior to having surgery!
I am now two weeks post op and am doing very well. It was relatively painless, a little swelling and minimal brusing. I am very happy with the results! My surgeon used rib cartiledge to rebuild my nose. My surgeon was amazing. He is the expert in my area and has preformed this surgery on many Wegeners patients and is very familiar with our disease. I had to wait until I was in remission (which I am thanks to rituxan) and on as little predisone as possible (I am currently on 5mg). I am slowly losing the prednisone weight and having my nose fixed has really helped me feel more like myself!
If anyone has any questions about the saddle nose surgery - ask away - Im happy to answer any questions!
