    I've had a nose job but not that. They said it was deviated but I never had it done.

    judy gold (a great comedienne) does a great bit about how she got her deviated septum fixed, and now when she breathes in through her nose she sounds like a noisemaker at a party.
    i can only dream of a circus life....

    TFD...

    1-do you really breathe a lot easier/better after the surgery?
    2-related to question 1...did you snore before the surgery, and if so, did the surgery help that?
    3-How long was the recovery?
    4-What EENT did you use? Were you happy with him/her?

    1) yes. At least i think so. My deviated septum wasnt that bad to begin with. I didn't even know i had it until i consulted about rhinoplasty. (well i speculated because of snoring and not breathing 100 percent)

    2) yes i did. (from what my bf told me) and now i sleep without a sound-for sure.

    3) God.. recovery was a breeze. My nose didn't hurt at all and my doctor was killer about anything i needed.

    4)I used Dr. Castellano in Tampa. ent and facial plastic surgery doc. I love him. He is great. As far as my rhino though he was very conservative. Which makes a good doctor because if he took too much during my rhino there is no going back. He told me upfront that he was conservative and that he didn't want to go too far because he didn't want to mess with my beauty. I asked him to even out a small, barely noticeable bump which he did and did well. Now i want more done, but I am going to Miami for that to a Dr. that isn't conservative.

    OH BTW.. he is a perfectionist. He spent hours (4) on my deviated septum and rhino.

    I got a referral from another girl and when i first went to his office it was kind of "old school" Dr. Castellano isn't a flashy man by any means but he does well for himself.

    A friend of mine got deviated septum and a nose job at the same time, and her results were great. My dad also got deviated septum surgery about a year ago, and the both of them say it was the greatest thing ever. Then again, my aunt had it about 6 years ago and nothing has changed for her so...there is always that chance. Good Luck
