Vivaer nasal valve remodeling and Empty Nose Syndrome?

Do you know of any independent studies? I had a practicing doctor who is also a professor, as many doctors are, to help research for me and he could not find any. I could not find any. That is what I mean. Is it that complicated to understand? I guess I am being misunderstood. Where are the independent studies? I have seen 2 ENTs who are named on the studies and they say they were essentially working with Aerin to do the studies. One recommended the procedure for me and the other did not.

@donaldbernard-

I understand what you are asking. What I was explaining is that, being that it is a newer method/device, the clinical trials are most likely the only thing that would be available at this time. The next best thing is obviously an ENT who’s had enough of their own clinical experience to give those outcome statistics. With the cost of the device and it still considered new, and independent study might be not be available.

Best option would be to locate a couple ENTs who offer this and meet with them for consult/questions. Especially how many they’ve done so far.

There are many reasons why one ENT would recommend and another would not for you.
Have you been told you 100% have an issue in the nasal valve area?
Did you ask them what there reasoning was?
