For decades, I was not able to breathe through my nose and walk, do yard work, housework, or sleep. It worsened [of course] as years went by. I finally decided that it was time to look into identifying & correcting the problem. Dr. Agula recognized the issue quickly after getting test results he presented me with the option of a surgical procedure which would open my nasal passages with cartilage from my rib area. I agreed. There was very little post surgical pain. The rib area did hurt with certain movements. It was never painful enough for me to use anything stronger than Tylenol. By day 3 post surgery, my nose breathing was much easier & continues to improve.
At the same time I opted to undergo an eyelid and brow lift (of sorts). This was in an effort to improve my peripheral vision, which was obstructed by my large saggy eyelids. This too was very painless! Within 9 days the difference was undeniable. Not only could I see better, I felt I looked better, more refreshed.
