but I'm so scared!!!....
I only have trouble breathing thru my nose. lol. it thats probably compounded by my sinuses and allergies. On a daily basis, I don't think about it too much, I guess I'm probably used to it. But yeah, when I'm trying to kiss a girl (on rare occasion) I have to stop and take breathers through my mouth so I don't suffocate. :D I'm like "um, sorry, hold on 2 seconds... GASP GASP... okay, i'm good." i think its kindof funny.
I'm sure my nose is ALL f'd up, but I just can't bring myself to do elective surgery unless I'm in pain or imminently going to be. If I ever get my nose broken again I'll probably do it.

They don't cut the outside of your nose. Everything is done up through your nostril. There is no visible scar. They will give you painkillers too. I had hydrocodone, but like I said I didn't need it, and not because I bared the pain, I literally had no pain. The doc said he could prescribe stronger stuff if I was having a hard time with the pain but that wasn't the case.
Just another general thing relating to my experience (especially if you or anyone is putting off a surgery). When the doc went in to fix my deviated septum, he found tissue (skin) growing in a big crack at the base of my nasal bone. No one had any idea it was there, since x-rays of the head are generally frowned upon. Before he fixed it, I'd get these random shots of stabbing pressure and pain on the right side of my head. I haven't had it since.
