ENT or Plastic? - Wednesday, November 19, 2008 2:08 PM
I have a deviated septum, to the point where I breathe out of my left nostril. I also have wanted to get my nose "aesthetically manipulated," if you will, since middle school when I was teased endlessly by a group of boys. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out if my best bet is an ENT or a Plastic, considering I want both a septoplasty and to shave down my bump and refine the end of my nose a bit. I figured the ENT would be my best bet because we could work with the insurance company to make it a little cheaper. However, my mom has advised me otherwise; her argument is that the ENT would have less experience with plastic and could "ruin my face." Which makes sense. Is an ENT a good choice for refining of the nose along with a septo?
And also, how long will recovery take? Will I need to take off a more than 8 or 9 days?
