Septoplasty: How did it impact you?

@mastro99 I had the deviated septum surgery 40 years ago when I was in my early 20's. I used to get a lot of sinus infections so it was supposed to help. After the surgery, I still got sinus infections but I could tell I was breathing better. From what I remember, the surgery was done at the ENT's office under local anesthetic. The procedure was not bad in the sense that there was no pain, only the discomfort of receiving the anesthetic. It's probably equivalent to the test for covid. Your eyes will water. The doctor removes cartilage but I didn't feel anything other than pressure from cartilage removal. I think I was back to work the next day.

I had a deviated septum and I went to an ENT doctor and he is known as being very very good and this was in Austin Texas and I had many many sinus infections and all of this was changed for the good once I had the deviated septum repaired and my sinuses cleaned out With inhaled antibiotics and sinus surgery. I’m so glad that I had it done—breathing easier and hardly any sinus infections since—-10 yes ago.
