What was your symptoms/issues that led to getting the surgery?

Jerking off at 1 am is a side effect

facial pressure/upper tooth pain
nasal obstruction
loss of smell


don't undergo sinus surgery for chronic drainage or headaches if you have a normal CT or your symptoms will likely continue

Near migraine headaches on a regular basis. Didn't feel rested after sleep. And had an xray technician tell me I didn't have one of my sinus cavities. Turns out it was 100% blocked and he was an idiot.

After an MRI, found out I had a deviated septum that looked like a train derailment even though it wasn't visible externally.

Had the surgery about 6 years ago and haven't had any issues since. Well worth it.

Was having as many as 9 sinus infections a year. Sinus drainage surgery failed. Had rhinoplasty and reduction of the turbinates (they were 5 times normal size) and now am almost infecrion free. I was almost 30 when I had the surgery so there is some permanent loss of sense of smell.

Symptoms alone poor indicator for sinus/nasal surgery. Need a thorough exam and endoscopy by an otolaryngologist and a CT scan.

I had a Septoplasty, not sinuplasty. 100% recommend the surgery. I had a severely deviated septum that was leading to some nagging sinus issues. Doc said that if he fixed the septum and reduced the turbinates then the sinus issues will take care of themselves. He was right and the recovery was not that bad. 3 days max. No packing or splints.

Snoring and continuous congestion led to me seeking treatment. Glad I did and got it fixed. I wished I had taken care of it years ago.

If they go through your gums, talk to your doctor about possible nerve damage.
