My ex and two of his sisters had their deviated septums (?) repaired through surgery and it didn't change the shape of their noses one whit. Life is a bell curve, so your own doctor's advice and experience could sure be different, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion.

Glad some real changes have the potential to help you so much!

Techniques have evolved in the last 20 years. Really. You no longer have to choose a new nose. If you really want to know HOW they do that, I'll tell you. Otherwise, leave it at ... you can keep your current nose. :)

Deviated septum repair? Common and easy. Thought you were talking about the sinus surgery, which has an awful success rate so I'd suggest against. (Never found ANYone who had the sinus surgery who'd recommend it to anyone else.)

Zicam has allergy swabs that I've found great success using. You might want to try them. Yes, there's a reason why the swabs are actually the better application method -- they shrink the membranes they touch. Read the insert, it's fascinating. (Always laughed at people who swore by Zicam -- until I go so desperate I tried it. Still don't know why it works, but know that it does.)
