My sister needs to have her deviated septum in her nose fixed. The procedure is known by several different names; rhinoplasty, nose surgery, nose job are all names for the same procedure. (I think.)  She’s been putting off having the procedure done because she is concerned about the discomfort level during the healing process.  But she really needs to have it done; her deviation is so severe that it is causing her to have chronic sinusitis.  She has a constant sinus headache, and is sniffling all of the time.

I am trying to encourage her to have the procedure done, I am sure that once it is done she will be much more comfortable the rest of her life.  At this point in time every time she catches a cold it always turns into a sinus infection and she is miserable for weeks on end.  Especially since she moved to a different state and her new doctor doesn’t want to give her the antibiotics that she needs to clear up the sinus infection.  Last winter she was sick for four whole months because of that!  So, she really needs this nose job.  I’m going to try to get my girlfriend that had the surgery done last year talk to about it and see if it might calm her nerves about it.
