@sueinmn-Hi Sue. Thank you for responding and sharing your experience.
As you can see in one of my posts I state that these surgeries should be reserved for those who have had an accident which has broken their nose, requiring reconstruction.

There are plenty of success stories you can find from doctors or the small 10% of people with whom the elective surgeries were deemed necessary.

This post is to create a fair balance to share with people what is often not shared in honest and true form in the medical setting. For those who are recommended/presented these surgeries for minor nuances that have nothing to do with anatomy being the cause.

This is to make people aware that there is so much more to the nose that is responsible for some of their issues outside of anything that can be addressed with the ENT algorithm of Antibiotics/Topical Sprays/Surgeries.

Only 10% of patients who present to an ENT ever truly “need” or will benefit from surgery.

I have attached 5 journal/articles which share clinical trials from otolaryngology. These are articles from ENTs themselves. Just to be fair. So you can see that ENTs also know this.
