I had a broken nose (deviated septum) from high school that also created a mass in my sinus cavity. Had it corrected and mass removed around 40 and the only really bad part was having the packing removed. They used to use gauze as packing and it was the second worst pain I had ever experienced while it was removed. Gauze is no longer used and it is now some sort of fine powder that is packed in and dissolves on its own over a week or two.

It helped me a lot to have the surgery and knowing what I know now I would do it again. I was back to work about 3 days afterwards, with gauze packing and bandages.

Removing the gauze is my biggest memory from it as well. I did it myself (they told me to do it after X amount of days) and it took me hours to work up the courage.
