Nope. I heard others tell me they were put under. It was a small practice. I didn’t know any better. Retro spec should have looked up surgery before agreeing to it.

I think some ENT's like to downplay the severity. I was told "we'll do it on Friday and you'll be back to work on Monday" which was completely unrealistic.

Recovery time is more like 7-10 days.

No shit. You don’t realize how much you blow your nose. Especially in hot shower setting. Then not be able to do it for over a month. Due to surgery post op instructions.

I will not try to fix my nose again. It is what it fucking is. Lol
