I ask because many people whom had sinus surgery- especially back in the 80s-90s develop symptoms afterwards that are brushed off as “just allergies or dryness”.

This was before the internet, and the evolution of the outdated sinus surgeries in general.

Many ENTs now a days won’t touch the sinuses at all due to the complexities and the recurring and new onset of issues for people down the road.

I see this board and I see that some people whom say they got this type surgery back then, recommend it for others.

There is only a very small percentage of people who would ever need or benefit from any type of nasal/sinus surgery.

As you said in your long post-sinus surgery is not a cure all. Which it truly isn’t. And most people can manage symptoms with proper medical therapy.

For people with allergies. Sinus surgery is a big risk.

Many of the symptoms you list are what people suffer after these surgeries whom
never really had those issues before.
Non-Allergic Rhinitis, Dry sinuses, tooth pain and Migraine. Those are not always symptoms that occur naturally especially post sinus surgery
