I was going to see about this nasal surgery for my daughter but then read about Empty Nose Syndrome. Please read before surgery. It's a risk. Not sure how much but enough I decided to forgo it for her.

@lynneat-very wise of you. This is a very big risk actually. Downplayed in the ENT community due to not being reported/acknowledged. All of their procedures are a total guess when it comes to them determining your issues in these areas. This is a highly subjective area.“Empty Nose Syndrome” is an outdated name, that really is an umbrella category for all of the sinus/nasal procedures that cause harm but not with an “objective” finding. Nerve Damage, Tissue Damage, Airway disruption can not be seen on any type of test, but all are very common. And not discussed enough.
