I had my procedure done in 2016 at age 47 and it changed my life. However, in my case, the also removed my tonsils and shortened my uvula at the same time. Most people don't have all three done at the same time. Not a day goes by that I don't have at least a quick thought of how much my quality of life, energy level, mental sharpness and other things have improved, a difference of night and day. This was literally one of the greatest decisions I've ever made in my life and certainly the greatest regarding my health. If you are considering doing this, please have this procedure done. You will be happier due to the better sleep quality and you will be able to do so many things you enjoy without wondering when you can take a nap. You won't regret it.

I have suffered from chronic fatigue and insomnia for years and finally went to an ent and figured out how connected it is to my nose!! It was broken multiple times as a youngin and now I have been on quiet a few years of disturbed sleep so I’m just chronically deep deprived! Finally gonna get the surgery this month and I’m so glad I’m doing it now. I am a dancer and performer and not someone who likes to rest and take it easy so it’s been hard for me, thank you for preparing em for what’s to come, I know the six weeks will be well worth the lifetime of finally feeling energized and capable in my body!
Got my surgery done 3 weeks ago, felt exactly the same the only thing I’m lazy about is the wash 😞😞, I only used to wash 2-3 times a day as it was really painful, my family can tell that my nose has strained up little as I’m still recovering and still washing 2 times a day 🙄😅 also I breathe through my nose now, next step is losing weight 😁👍
@@overkillMaster my sinuses were so bad, after the operation it’s really hard but you have to keep washing that’s the only way your nose can heal, also try to not have lots of painkillers as they will affect your stomach later, and have lots of rest 👍
I’m post op 11 days I still feel like im breathing through my mouth when I sleep which was why I had the septoplasty turbinate reduction etc I hope I can breathe through my nose soon while I sleep
Great video. I just had mine yesterday. Nose is very congested but no pain today really. I had 90% blockage in left nostril and 25% in the right so I’m looking forward to all those great things, improved sleep, energy etc. thanks for sharing your experience. It’s very encouraging. All the best!
@@brianna7289 what are you having done ? I had 6 procedures done . Had a polyp removed and turbinate reduction as well Breathing like I never have before and I’m so happy I did it .
In 1986 I had a bicycle accident and broke my nose. My left side is totally closed because of my septum. 1993 I had an operation. It helped for a while but my septum returned left. I hate mouth breathing. I'm to afraid to go back for another operation :( . But you are right its great breathing through your mouth. Thanks for encouraging me to reconsider another operation.
Oh I really hope you do. It's interesting you say that timeframe too, because my Father had an Op for his nose about then. And again in 1995. He's been frustrated it didn't work. But, he had a huge long chat with my ENT and he was telling him that they do it now. They use laser and my nose wasn't packed with any filling, it was simply just that bit under my nose for a few weeks. I had NO SWELLING on the outside at all, no bruising or anything. My husband and father are both booked in! Def go and have a chat because wow, what a difference it makes. Stace x
Watching this as I'm sitting here, with my splints up my nose, recovering from my surgery yesterday. So far no pain, just a mild stuffy nose feeling. Can't wait to breath again!
Hey guys. We’re you able to have your insurance cover the operation? I’ve heard some policies cover it but then there a lot of out of pocket expenses. I wanna get it done but I don’t wanna get my hopes up thinking that my insurance will cover it
@@gabrielcastle3071 I'm having mine done this coming monday. Insurance is covering because the Doctor said it was obstructing my breathing. If you're in the States, most of them are covered by insurance as long as you go through the correct process.
I had mine done last Monday and it is Saturday night. I'm still in a massive amount of pain stints come out on Wednesday very much looking forward to breathing through my nose after my life being so many things people have written here. Sleep apnea, not breathing through nose, anxiety, always always exhausted 😴 so looking forward to feeling better soon !!! 👍
@@PaulWashington.. funnily enough the evening I wrote this comment I had a massive uncontrollable bleed and ended up going to hospital a few days. Unfortunately because of that my sinuses filled up , inflamed and closed which has caused so much pain and pressure In my face and behind the eyes. Turns out after a CT scan that I have a horrible infection I'm my right sinus and sinuses in for head all closed due to inflammation... long storey but now on meds for the next 6 weeks to hopefully fix this issue. Has been 8 weeks and I'm still extremely in pain and fatigue ( I must add this is not the normal most people recover and go on to with no issues)
@@jacquelinedeportnoy3168 I am 5 weeks post septoplasty this coming Friday. Seems to less suffocating sleep but still very much ' stuffy' inflamed on both nostrils. I'm not sure what to do
Omg that was quite enlightening❤️ so I was searching Nasal septum surgery as my mom has similar deviated nasal bone that blocks her one side of nose almost completely. She suffers from crazy sinus and actually once got it removed via puncture. It not just makes her a mouth breather but as you said, she feels tired and lack of oxygen to brain and other body parts is of great concern too. Headaches and migraines too are caused by this. Now she has a major hearing loss too 😖 I wish we could research about all this years before. Now she is nearly 60 and I wish as a family we could have helped her way earlier 😔 Recently, when my mom said that her ENT specialist has called out for an unavoidable surgery, I was very nervous! I immediately started looking for similar surgeries and thank God I found your video! I have shared this video with my Mom too. Hope this will give her strength. Thank you so much for your video. I wish you a great health and a blissful life ahead ❤️🙏🙏
@@aadityagahlot7347 my mom didn’t have surgery. I believe she never prioritized it. But like I mentioned, nasya kriya helped her a lot and helps me too when I have nasal congestion. It’s incredibly easy and surgery free solution to most sinus cases.
This is great, thank you. I've suffered with a deviated septum for years and can't breathe out of on side of my nose. Where did you get the surgery? I also live in Sydney
I have a massive question!! I am having my rhinoplasty because of my deviated septum on my left nostril they are also going to make it smaller because it’s too big as well I already went through this procedure before and we have to go through it again because things didn’t go as we expected so now I’m gonna have to go through this pain again in three days and I am so anxious about it!! Obviously you were a mouth breather and you didn’t have any packing on your nose did you? Just the thought of breathing through my mouth for seven days I remember I used to cry about it because I couldn’t deal with the mouth breathing I couldn’t sleep for two days and I kept regretting doing it!! Did you get desperate my breathing through your mouth all the time?
I am a mouth breather partially and I have sleep apnea. Not overweight at all but have had issues with breathing through my nose. Considering a consultation with an ENT specialist in my area. Love your energy and enthusiasm and I'm so happy you got what you wanted out of your surgery and that they were able to remove the cyst looks like they did a terrific job!
I have sleep apnea also. I was overweight so I lost weight. Still had apnea. I had my tonsils out. Still had sleep apnea. I was given a new cpap machine that tells you how many episodes an hour I have. I tape my mouth to stop the mouth breathing and the machine would say less than 4 episodes an hour which is normal. The day I forgot to tape my mouth it said 14. So it clicked. The only reason I have sleep apnea is because my sinus are always clogged and my brain subconsciously tells my mouth to open. So I’n in the process of getting an appointment date for my deviated septum correction. Hoping this takes care of it 🙏🏾
May I ask how you were before the surgery? We’re you able to sleep 7-8 hrs a night ? Did you go 3-5 hrs sleep and just wake up? What were your symptoms ? I have a deviated septum but was asked to do a sleeping test and very paranoid now lol
Hi Stacey . I had my Septoplasty 5 weeks ago and I am still experiencing stuffy nose on and off . My doctor said it’s because of the swelling . Did you experience that after ? And for how long ?
I just got operated and IT HURTS AS HELL!!!! hopefully I'll get better, but I'm telling you even with the anesthesia it still is hurtful 🥺😭 anyways, just came here to say that the reason I decided to get this operation was this video!!! You are truly inspirational 🤗🤗
@@StaceyClare it's a lot better now! I still have some blood clots and it's bothering me a little, but I can see that when I get them out I'll be breathing completely!!!
I hadseptoplasty turbinate reduction and nasal wall implants yesterday and let me tell you my experience is not the rainbows others on here have been. I’m in so much pain and so much bruising! But I’m positive things will get better soon! I haven’t watched this video yet I just saw this comment and wanted to say make sure to watch loads of vids and research and if you do have it done I hope all goes well!!!
I’m 2 days out of surgery. No big deal. Groggy for about 4 hours after surgery (have someone hang out with you at home). Took 3 pain pills through the first night, mostly for ‘just in case I need them’ but since that first night I’ve needed no pain pills or Tylenol. You’ll have a scratchy throat for a few days from the tube they use during surgery (not helped by mouth breathing). Mostly it’s a nuisance and very similar to having a cold: you have to rinse your nose with saline every few hours, which causes it to drip (and unlike a cold you can’t blow it). You have to sleep upright for a week and breathe through your mouth. The antibiotics may or may not give you diarrhea. I wish I hadn’t watched so many RUclips videos before surgery- they had me SO stressed out, and really it’s nothing much.
Is it hard to only breathe out of your mouth until they take the packing out? It scares me a little because what if I’m asleep and choke. I already can’t breathe out of one nostril, but it scares me a little not being able to breathe at all through my nose and only my mouth. I’ve been reluctant to get the surgery.
@@hfaith81 it is a little nerve-wracking to only breathe out of your mouth, but it’s only for about a week and then they take it out. I had your same fears about choking, but to be honest my nose didn’t work that well before surgery so I don’t think it would help much. If you don’t choke on your food regularly, odds are small that you would in the week after surgery, but you could always eat soups for that first week and anyway, they don’t want you doing any heavy chewing, so stock up on soft stuff. I’m now about 3 months post surgery and don’t regret a thing.
So I have a severe deviated septum but I'm freaked out on having the surgery! I'm afraid of the things that can go wrong a perforation in your septum( hole) and possible saddle nose and the pain. I am tired all the time and don't sleep well. Did it help you with sleep??
I have deviated septum, swollen turbinate, allergic rhinitis and developed anxiety. How many days for you breath to your nose after surgery? Because I'm scared becuae i have anxiety also.
I had my adenoids out a while ago, still haven’t been able to breathe through my nose. Just got these nasal procedures yesterday. Super stuffy, but not too painful. I knew I needed surgery for this too. I was so spacey when I woke up, didn’t have any pain though, until later last night. The stuffiness is wild though. Oh no, I’m going into day 3. So glad yours worked out so much!
I' now 24 hours after Septoplasty Surgery. Wenatchee Ear Nose and Throat. MARC ROHRBACH MD (FANTASIC Job)) No bruising darkness at all on face. Breathing well and it will get better after the plastic is removed. Marc is a great Surgeon. I can't say enough
wauuuu, 💫💫💫💫how you surprised me in the end, the same reason why I did the nose surgery. Here I am 4 days in the hospital after septal deviation surgery. i also eat healthy, i have been doing yoga for 2 years but a lot of breathing and meditation techniques i can't perform. so I'm overjoyed to run into you and your video. in which day I will post a video. I really hope for that blissful breath in alternating breathing with meditations. Well done every part. I follow you further.😇💫💫💫💫💫😇
@@HunterD619 i had 2 surgeries in 14 days on my nose, the first surgery was not successful, the second was successful. my breathing is great. alternating breathing on both nostrils goes great. I am very satisfied. it is only now clear to me that I can practice more intense workouts precisely because of quality circulation. I have no headaches. how about you?
@@familieschmidthalilovich7727 that’s great news! My nose is completely ruined. To make things fast and simple, I can’t breathe. Like, ever. How was your breathing before surgery? How severe was it and was it ruining your quality of life? A response would be much appreciated. I am still considering surgery even after all the ENS stories
I am breathing only thru my right nostril for more than 45 years. I think I should go for septoplasty. Can anyone suggest me the right surgeon ? Thanks!
Does anyone know if it’s normal or not to only be able to breathe out of one nostril at a time. Almost all the time one is pretty hard to breathe out of but it switches. I understand there’s a nasal cycle but even then is it normal? Maybe it is idk. Trying to figure out if this surgery will help my fatigue
Is it normal for you? Did you always have congestion in one nostril? I've always had the nasal cycle. I didn't notice until I got hit in the nose and experienced congestion in a nostril at a time. That's how you know it's not normal.
@@PaulWashington.. Hello! it went pretty good! thanks! my recovery was really fast its been 3 months but by the second month I was showing improvement on my sleeping. the key was doing the nose rinses, I did them 4 times a day. Im so happy
Happy to hear recovery went well for you. What did you have done? I need to be rescheduled since I had a cold. I’m having valve collapse, turbinate reduction & slightly deviated septum.
@@myrnacortez8881 deviated septum. I started a cold the night before my surgery but they did the procedure anyways, it made it worse because I was swollen from the surgery and stuffy from the cold but I did the rinses 4 times a day every single day strictly and it worked great. I wish you the best recovery!
I have surgery coming up soon to have this done and the more I think about it and the closer it gets, the more stressed out I become... I've gotten to where I'm having trouble sleeping at night because of it.. 😢
Thank you I saw a new surgeon today she is was wonderful and your video was very helpful! I hope to have more energy after this surgery! Tucson Arizona
Hey Stacey, could you please post your post-op CT scans? I have empty nose syndrome, and would like to see how large your nasal cavity is, to compare with mine. Empty nose syndrome happens from too much turbinate reduction. Do you experience any dryness issues after this surgery?
Hola, I'm very happy it went well for you.. I wanted to ask after surgery is your nose all clogged up or can you actually breath through your nose? I'm asking because when I get a cold and have to breath through my mouth I get panic attacks I feel like I'm suffocating.. so I pretty much just breath thru one nostril since I was a kid but I'm always tired when I wake guess I'm not getting enough 02 .. so yeah can you breath through the nose after surgery? Stay safe 🌝
Your story sounds like mine. I had to double check if I wrote that. Have you had surgery? I was rescheduled after having a cold. I don’t drain & take forever to recover. I’m suppose to have valve collapse repair, turbinate reduction & slight deviated septum repair.
Got my deviated septum surgery done today my first surgery and everything I was so out of it I don't remember nothing all I remember is waking up in a recovery room 🖤
Hi would you believe I'm going in for my 5 th operation on my nose and honestly none of them have really been successful. I hemraged after my second operation and was in hospital for 4 days. Wish me luck.
Thank you for this . I had my surgery a week ago , had bleeding but no pain, just having to be very careful as still tender. Still got symptoms of a cold, which apparently is common for 10/14 days after surgery, blocked nose, particularly on the side deviation was, in my case the left. Looking forward to being able to breathe through both nostrils and hoping I won't have to use my sleep apnea machine once healed!
Hi guys, had mine done 4 days ago and I’m scared it hasn’t worked, am fine on the side that wasn’t affected by deviation but the other side is still a struggle to breathe through, any updates?? 🙏
What were your symptoms. I did a symptom test and it says I might have it. I just have nose blockage but there's no mucous or boogers or anything I just can't breath through my Jose unless I'm sitting or lying down in that right position
I had mine done last month on 5th may 23 and today is 27th june . Septoplasty and sdm were done . Yeah it was painfull and for me the worst part more than pain was my nose was blocked for like 16 hours and i had to breathe from mouth only it was worst of the worst thing for me because I'm claustrophobic but yeah i survived my nose is better than before not 100% perfect but yeah my blocked nose is 60% better
Hi Stacey, I’m currently on the couch with my bandage after getting home from surgery. I’m mostly looking forward to actually getting a good sleep for once, which will do wonders for energy… also doing that breathing exercise through each nostril 😂 i never could master it in yoga, always was looking around the room to see who else was like me haha. Anyhow glad you’re doing amazing and thanks for your video, it’s a gem 🙏🏼
I had septum correction, turbinate correction and a spur removal 3 weeks back. I can feel the air flow through my nose, recovering now with some pain around eyes, head, cheeks. I believe it will go with time, by when were u completely pain free...
Im so scared to do this. My right nostril is super small and my nose is always stuffy and i sleep w my mouth open. Dr said im so tired because of this and this will help. Anyone have better sleep w this?? Thts crazy u brought up the mediation breathing bc tht was one thing I realized… i cldnt do the one sided breathing
What would be the difference? I want to know how she breathes in a room alone. That's the most important thing. Anyone can breathe outside, but are you comfortable with your breathing when there's no distractions?
hi, I just got my surgery done and got a septoplasty with turbinate reduction. My swolen turbinates were on the left side and thats the only side that hurts and burns. It's like. a constant pressure but only on theft side of nose. Also the left side of my nose is extremely tender and swollen. Is this normal ?
Thanks for the video. I have a deviated septum and doctors advised operation which I am putting off for a long time. Of course quality of breathing is bad as I can breath only one side. Thing I want to know is does the operation change how the nose looks later 😜. One of the reasons I have avoided the op is because I cannot see a different me in the mirror for the rest of my life !!! 😀
Exciting! Have my surgery tomorrow, I've been really struggling with sleeping being unable to breathe through my nose, its over a year since I had a full night sleep. Only taken two days off work, hopefully a bit of working from home will be possible after the surgery!!
@@ramneekoberai1693 Sorry I don't want to say that as everyone's health cover was different. You may be able to go public with this, I didn't, I chose private so I could have it done quickly and with a doctor that had operated on my two kids. I felt safe. Dr Andrew Wills is his name :)
I had septoplasty with nasal valve repairs 9 days ago. I still cannot breathe well through the left side of my nose where the deviation was. I can only get a little air through on that side, so I have to breathe through my mouth at night. I still have to sleep upright in the recliner, use saline rinses several times a day, and am still using a cool-mist humidifier for relief. When can I expect a decrease in the stuffiness/congestion/swelling on the left side? I'm getting no answers at all from my ENT doctor.
Hi Stacey, over many years Ive seen a lot of patients that have had this surgery & the congestion/cysts etc return after a while because they didnt treat the underlying reason why excess mucus was being created. A deviated septum contributes to sinus congestion, but doesn't single- handely cause congestion. Had you tried changing your diet to reduce congestion?
Oh Tracie thanks so much for your message. I am so with you, the inflammation needs to go. I should have said, and thanks so much for asking, I’ve been on really high fish-oil and a few other bits from my naturopath. I also worked with my holistic dentist. So hope the cyst stays away 🤞
How about if you've been hit in the nose. Pre-hit, you didn't even know you had a nose. Post-hit, congestion/smelling decrease. How is a change in diet going to fix that?
Hi I’m 19 and I’m going to a EMT doctor and I was wondering if after the first week do you think I could work or should I wait five weeks like you said to be safe
Hi Stacey :) Im thinking of doing the same surgery, but guess Im little bit scared. Think I’ve had this problem all my years, especially the last 2-3 years with anxiety as well. I am breathing through my mouth I guess 24/7. Feel like I don’t have enough energy as well I feel it most difficult when Im around prople, maybe nervous/ little bit anxiety, and it’s kinda hard to have oxygen and energy to be 100% relaxed because of I can’t breath normaly. Thank you for your video, and I hope you’re doing well 🤗
I’m having this done because I have sleep apnea on my left side of my nose it’s blocked and there’s no way it can drain and also I have a deviated septum my nose is always blocked January I will be getting this done I’m pretty scared tho the way they explained it to me
I'm actually looking to get the non cosmetic correction and much needed for years. I'm a contractor in Canada and prety resilient in spirit. I was just wondering how long I should expect to be stay at home recovering. Mostly finishing work so I would be hoping to get back on trim and paint sooner than drywall finishing for obvious reasons. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the video
I was back walking 1km to and from school with the kids a full week later. I kept of exercise for the full 6-weeks as instructed by my doctor. I ate really well and re-built my gut after the antibiotics we all take after surgery, with ferments. Wishing you good luck
Thank u for this video , I’ve had chronic sinus infections for years , you finally motivated me to go see my ENT and get this surgery done , How long will I have to take off from work?
Good job! I'm an airway and functional orthodontist. This surgery is only the part one of your journey. By looking at your video, you probably have narrowed palate and narrow lower dental arches. Which means your nasal cavity is narrow, to correct your structure completely, you will need a maxillary skeletal expander(MSE) to actually correct your structure, which will increase your nasal cavity volume plus tongue space. You also may have excessive vertical dimension of the face that lead to mouth breathing and clenching issues, which will need to be reduced. Those are all real structures problem that needed to be addressed. Imagine if your sewer line is too small and get clogged all the time, just doing the rooter service will only unclog the line temporarily. The problem will return until a proper size sewer line is replaced. The last is the possibility of tongue tie, from what I observed your video. Which will also cause airway issues, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. From my clinical experiences, both structural and functional correction are essential for airway correction. You are probably at your 50% potential right now, once you take care of those, you will be at your 100%. Also take your children to an airway and functional orthodontist. They will likely follow your growth pattern, need to be addressed early. Great video, thank you for your contributions to the public. Wishing you the best!
@rtingdds is the Sarpe procedure the same as a MSE expander? I was told that sarpe widens the upper jaw but does not change the nasal cavity size..is it true?
Amazing video, I just had my surgery 3 days ago, I’m soo worried about getting an infection and causing complications; is cleaning it with the salt spray 3 times a day the only real way to prevent this, I mean the hospital gave me some cream\ointment however that is proving to be challenging to apply to my nose as there is still discharge etc... anyway thank you for your video and I hope you are able to enjoy your breathing meditation for years take care
same as me. They did not give me. a saline solution and was told to take my antibiotics, ointment and nasal decongestants. I have yet to use a saline solution. did you recover without the saline solution
I’m happy that you did it Wish me luck because this is my 3rd day after doing the operation ;) .. I’m a little bit afraid about the bleeding and I don’t know when it will stop
I have a deviated septum, I am 17 and noticed when i was around 15 when someone took a picture of me and i said woahhhh one nostril is bigger than the other lol. I then noticed that when i cover one nostril and then switch and cover the other, One blows out more air than the other. Quick question, Does the ENT do some sort of test to measure how nuch air comes out of the nostril or how do they know when you need surgery? Thanks and god bless you
@@99SsZz So theres no way they can measure how much air you blow out your nose but they made me do a CAT scan to see like an xray of my nose and when they saw the xray i had one nostril that was bigger than the other. So my septum was deviated.
@@FlakasLabratory thank you, did you get referred by your gp? I defo have a deviated septum as it’s visible + one side is collapsed especially when breathing in, but idk what my gp will do
Done my septoplasty for deviated nasal septum a week ago but still snoring like a lion??When it will stop?? My mouth opens automatically at night for snoring😭😭
@@deepakbhan3565 no more water rinses? humidifiers? No new congestion? New runny nose? Weird feeling in nose? Less/more mucous? Things have settled? And it feels like your nose again?
Got my surgery, my 4 weeks completed but 2 to 3 days ago I feel different Smell. I have no pain no issue but doctor recommended a flagyl tab 400gm for 7 days 3 time a day. So any ways if u have any experience like this please share your views
I had my procedure done in 2016 at age 47 and it changed my life. However, in my case, the also removed my tonsils and shortened my uvula at the same time. Most people don't have all three done at the same time. Not a day goes by that I don't have at least a quick thought of how much my quality of life, energy level, mental sharpness and other things have improved, a difference of night and day. This was literally one of the greatest decisions I've ever made in my life and certainly the greatest regarding my health. If you are considering doing this, please have this procedure done. You will be happier due to the better sleep quality and you will be able to do so many things you enjoy without wondering when you can take a nap. You won't regret it.
I want to get septoplasty alone

Oh I really hope you do. It's interesting you say that timeframe too, because my Father had an Op for his nose about then. And again in 1995. He's been frustrated it didn't work. But, he had a huge long chat with my ENT and he was telling him that they do it now. They use laser and my nose wasn't packed with any filling, it was simply just that bit under my nose for a few weeks. I had NO SWELLING on the outside at all, no bruising or anything. My husband and father are both booked in! Def go and have a chat because wow, what a difference it makes. Stace x
Watching this as I'm sitting here, with my splints up my nose, recovering from my surgery yesterday. So far no pain, just a mild stuffy nose feeling. Can't wait to breath again!
I’m on the same boat. Just got it done this morning along with couple of other things to relieve the constant pressure in my head. I’m pretty excited.
Hey guys. We’re you able to have your insurance cover the operation? I’ve heard some policies cover it but then there a lot of out of pocket expenses. I wanna get it done but I don’t wanna get my hopes up thinking that my insurance will cover it
Update?
@@gabrielcastle3071 I'm having mine done this coming monday. Insurance is covering because the Doctor said it was obstructing my breathing. If you're in the States, most of them are covered by insurance as long as you go through the correct process.
@@alanparrent how’d it go?
I had mine done last Monday and it is Saturday night. I'm still in a massive amount of pain stints come out on Wednesday very much looking forward to breathing through my nose after my life being so many things people have written here. Sleep apnea, not breathing through nose, anxiety, always always exhausted 😴 so looking forward to feeling better soon !!! 👍
How are you today? Hope you are much better now
@@PaulWashington.. funnily enough the evening I wrote this comment I had a massive uncontrollable bleed and ended up going to hospital a few days. Unfortunately because of that my sinuses filled up , inflamed and closed which has caused so much pain and pressure In my face and behind the eyes. Turns out after a CT scan that I have a horrible infection I'm my right sinus and sinuses in for head all closed due to inflammation... long storey but now on meds for the next 6 weeks to hopefully fix this issue. Has been 8 weeks and I'm still extremely in pain and fatigue ( I must add this is not the normal most people recover and go on to with no issues)
@@jacquelinedeportnoy3168 I am 5 weeks post septoplasty this coming Friday. Seems to less suffocating sleep but still very much ' stuffy' inflamed on both nostrils. I'm not sure what to do
@@PaulWashington.. go back to the ENT they might give steroids to reduce inflammation

Great video, I have this surgery lined up, I also needed day naps and get headaches without.
Fingers crossed this works for me too 🎉

@@StaceyClare thanks for the reply. Currently on day one of recovery so fingers crossed.
I will buy the tape once I know it’s work. Fingers crossed
Omg that was quite enlightening❤️ so I was searching Nasal septum surgery as my mom has similar deviated nasal bone that blocks her one side of nose almost completely. She suffers from crazy sinus and actually once got it removed via puncture. It not just makes her a mouth breather but as you said, she feels tired and lack of oxygen to brain and other body parts is of great concern too. Headaches and migraines too are caused by this. Now she has a major hearing loss too 😖 I wish we could research about all this years before. Now she is nearly 60 and I wish as a family we could have helped her way earlier 😔
Recently, when my mom said that her ENT specialist has called out for an unavoidable surgery, I was very nervous! I immediately started looking for similar surgeries and thank God I found your video! I have shared this video with my Mom too. Hope this will give her strength. Thank you so much for your video. I wish you a great health and a blissful life ahead ❤️🙏🙏

Surgery is good or not
I had this surgery 3 days ago and I'm in more pain than I have ever been in my life. Totally regret it.
Oh it is NOTHING on child birth! You'll be right!
This is great, thank you. I've suffered with a deviated septum for years and can't breathe out of on side of my nose. Where did you get the surgery? I also live in Sydney
I have a massive question!! I am having my rhinoplasty because of my deviated septum on my left nostril they are also going to make it smaller because it’s too big as well I already went through this procedure before and we have to go through it again because things didn’t go as we expected so now I’m gonna have to go through this pain again in three days and I am so anxious about it!! Obviously you were a mouth breather and you didn’t have any packing on your nose did you? Just the thought of breathing through my mouth for seven days I remember I used to cry about it because I couldn’t deal with the mouth breathing I couldn’t sleep for two days and I kept regretting doing it!! Did you get desperate my breathing through your mouth all the time?
I am a mouth breather partially and I have sleep apnea. Not overweight at all but have had issues with breathing through my nose. Considering a consultation with an ENT specialist in my area. Love your energy and enthusiasm and I'm so happy you got what you wanted out of your surgery and that they were able to remove the cyst looks like they did a terrific job!
Def go check it out for you. All the best
I have sleep apnea also. I was overweight so I lost weight. Still had apnea. I had my tonsils out. Still had sleep apnea. I was given a new cpap machine that tells you how many episodes an hour I have. I tape my mouth to stop the mouth breathing and the machine would say less than 4 episodes an hour which is normal. The day I forgot to tape my mouth it said 14. So it clicked. The only reason I have sleep apnea is because my sinus are always clogged and my brain subconsciously tells my mouth to open. So I’n in the process of getting an appointment date for my deviated septum correction. Hoping this takes care of it 🙏🏾
May I ask how you were before the surgery? We’re you able to sleep 7-8 hrs a night ? Did you go 3-5 hrs sleep and just wake up? What were your symptoms ? I have a deviated septum but was asked to do a sleeping test and very paranoid now lol
Hi Stacey . I had my Septoplasty 5 weeks ago and I am still experiencing stuffy nose on and off . My doctor said it’s because of the swelling . Did you experience that after ? And for how long ?
How are you now?
How's ur health now plzz tell about ur recovery plzz
I just got operated and IT HURTS AS HELL!!!! hopefully I'll get better, but I'm telling you even with the anesthesia it still is hurtful 🥺😭 anyways, just came here to say that the reason I decided to get this operation was this video!!! You are truly inspirational 🤗🤗
And how are you now, a few weeks on? Worth it? Sure hope so x
@@StaceyClare it's a lot better now! I still have some blood clots and it's bothering me a little, but I can see that when I get them out I'll be breathing completely!!!
Now ?
i want this done i’m fed up breathing through my mouth
go for it the pain is tolerable and probably your insurance will cover the bills same as mine. mine was septoplasty wid turbinates reduction
I hadseptoplasty turbinate reduction and nasal wall implants yesterday and let me tell you my experience is not the rainbows others on here have been. I’m in so much pain and so much bruising! But I’m positive things will get better soon!

@@hannahg9901 how u feel now?
I’m 2 days out of surgery. No big deal. Groggy for about 4 hours after surgery (have someone hang out with you at home). Took 3 pain pills through the first night, mostly for ‘just in case I need them’ but since that first night I’ve needed no pain pills or Tylenol. You’ll have a scratchy throat for a few days from the tube they use during surgery (not helped by mouth breathing). Mostly it’s a nuisance and very similar to having a cold: you have to rinse your nose with saline every few hours, which causes it to drip (and unlike a cold you can’t blow it). You have to sleep upright for a week and breathe through your mouth. The antibiotics may or may not give you diarrhea. I wish I hadn’t watched so many RUclips videos before surgery- they had me SO stressed out, and really it’s nothing much.
Is it hard to only breathe out of your mouth until they take the packing out? It scares me a little because what if I’m asleep and choke. I already can’t breathe out of one nostril, but it scares me a little not being able to breathe at all through my nose and only my mouth. I’ve been reluctant to get the surgery.
Plzz tell about ur recovery journey
@@hfaith81 it is a little nerve-wracking to only breathe out of your mouth, but it’s only for about a week and then they take it out. I had your same fears about choking, but to be honest my nose didn’t work that well before surgery so I don’t think it would help much. If you don’t choke on your food regularly, odds are small that you would in the week after surgery, but you could always eat soups for that first week and anyway, they don’t want you doing any heavy chewing, so stock up on soft stuff. I’m now about 3 months post surgery and don’t regret a thing.
So I have a severe deviated septum but I'm freaked out on having the surgery! I'm afraid of the things that can go wrong a perforation in your septum( hole) and possible saddle nose and the pain. I am tired all the time and don't sleep well. Did it help you with sleep??
I had a test today with the camera but SHE SCARED ME ABOUT THE SURGERY the doctor :( I can’t breath well thru my right nostril so idk what to do

Love your energy and enthusiasm Stace. Thanks for sharing
Such a pleasure xx
Has anyone who had this surgery had a post nasal drip before hand and did it go away once you had the surgery?
How did you all go with ya nose completely blocked while recovery
Does anyone know if it’s normal or not to only be able to breathe out of one nostril at a time. Almost all the time one is pretty hard to breathe out of but it switches. I understand there’s a nasal cycle but even then is it normal? Maybe it is idk. Trying to figure out if this surgery will help my fatigue
Is it normal for you? Did you always have congestion in one nostril? I've always had the nasal cycle. I didn't notice until I got hit in the nose and experienced congestion in a nostril at a time. That's how you know it's not normal.

Hey Stacey, could you please post your post-op CT scans? I have empty nose syndrome, and would like to see how large your nasal cavity is, to compare with mine. Empty nose syndrome happens from too much turbinate reduction. Do you experience any dryness issues after this surgery?
Sorry I don't have any scans. And no issues after surgery, I am doing great :)
Can you please post operative CT scan
Hola, I'm very happy it went well for you.. I wanted to ask after surgery is your nose all clogged up or can you actually breath through your nose? I'm asking because when I get a cold and have to breath through my mouth I get panic attacks I feel like I'm suffocating.. so I pretty much just breath thru one nostril since I was a kid but I'm always tired when I wake guess I'm not getting enough 02 .. so yeah can you breath through the nose after surgery? Stay safe 🌝
Your story sounds like mine. I had to double check if I wrote that. Have you had surgery? I was rescheduled after having a cold. I don’t drain & take forever to recover. I’m suppose to have valve collapse repair, turbinate reduction & slight deviated septum repair.

Is this painfull or not ? I'm getting preparing for a surgery
I’m worried it would make my nose too small or like a French nose, I just want to fix the deviation. Is there such a risk of major change in looks?
Surgery. Inflammation. The risk is that it would make your nose look bigger (until the swelling goes down), not smaller.

Thank you for this . I had my surgery a week ago , had bleeding but no pain, just having to be very careful as still tender. Still got symptoms of a cold, which apparently is common for 10/14 days after surgery, blocked nose, particularly on the side deviation was, in my case the left. Looking forward to being able to breathe through both nostrils and hoping I won't have to use my sleep apnea machine once healed!
I'm 2 weeks in, deviated side is still blocked. Hopefully we both get to breathe normal again soon 😂

Had mine done, only thing was headaches first day. Just tired from anytesia for now.
I had mine done last month on 5th may 23 and today is 27th june . Septoplasty and sdm were done .

Hi Stacey,
I was wondering, before your surgery did you have a nassaly voice? Like you sounded sick all the time. As I do and wonder if it could help
No, but I def had times of that
I had septoplasty with nasal valve repairs 9 days ago. I still cannot breathe well through the left side of my nose where the deviation was. I can only get a little air through on that side, so I have to breathe through my mouth at night. I still have to sleep upright in the recliner, use saline rinses several times a day, and am still using a cool-mist humidifier for relief. When can I expect a decrease in the stuffiness/congestion/swelling on the left side? I'm getting no answers at all from my ENT doctor.
Hi Robin, how are you today? I hope your condition has much improved?
Plzz tell about ur recovery journey for God seke
Hi Stacey, over many years Ive seen a lot of patients that have had this surgery & the congestion/cysts etc return after a while because they didnt treat the underlying reason why excess mucus was being created. A deviated septum contributes to sinus congestion, but doesn't single- handely cause congestion. Had you tried changing your diet to reduce congestion?
Oh Tracie thanks so much for your message. I am so with you, the inflammation needs to go. I should have said, and thanks so much for asking, I’ve been on really high fish-oil and a few other bits from my naturopath. I also worked with my holistic dentist. So hope the cyst stays away 🤞
How about if you've been hit in the nose. Pre-hit, you didn't even know you had a nose. Post-hit, congestion/smelling decrease. How is a change in diet going to fix that?
Hi I’m 19 and I’m going to a EMT doctor and I was wondering if after the first week do you think I could work or should I wait five weeks like you said to be safe

Thank u for this video , I’ve had chronic sinus infections for years , you finally motivated me to go see my ENT and get this surgery done ,
How long will I have to take off from work?
Good job! I'm an airway and functional orthodontist. This surgery is only the part one of your journey. By looking at your video, you probably have narrowed palate and narrow lower dental arches. Which means your nasal cavity is narrow, to correct your structure completely, you will need a maxillary skeletal expander(MSE) to actually correct your structure, which will increase your nasal cavity volume plus tongue space. You also may have excessive vertical dimension of the face that lead to mouth breathing and clenching issues, which will need to be reduced. Those are all real structures problem that needed to be addressed. Imagine if your sewer line is too small and get clogged all the time, just doing the rooter service will only unclog the line temporarily. The problem will return until a proper size sewer line is replaced. The last is the possibility of tongue tie, from what I observed your video. Which will also cause airway issues, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. From my clinical experiences, both structural and functional correction are essential for airway correction. You are probably at your 50% potential right now, once you take care of those, you will be at your 100%. Also take your children to an airway and functional orthodontist. They will likely follow your growth pattern, need to be addressed early. Great video, thank you for your contributions to the public. Wishing you the best!
Thanks for those ideas, I appreciate it!
Mr Rtingdds, I'm a life time mouth breather now 30. I need help what should I do first?

Amazing video, I just had my surgery 3 days ago, I’m soo worried about getting an infection and causing complications; is cleaning it with the salt spray 3 times a day the only real way to prevent this, I mean the hospital gave me some cream\ointment however that is proving to be challenging to apply to my nose as there is still discharge etc... anyway thank you for your video and I hope you are able to enjoy your breathing meditation for years take care
Tell about ur health and recovery now
same as me. They did not give me. a saline solution and was told to take my antibiotics, ointment and nasal decongestants. I have yet to use a saline solution. did you recover without the saline solution
I had done septoplasty and turbinate reduction 2 months ago.. and still i am feeling congestion in nose.. please give some solution..
Looks like your surgery didnt go too well

How’s your breathing? Did surgery help?
Had septoplasty 2 weeks ago, no sign of improvement in my ride side as of yet. Hopefully it's early days and things change.
Any update? In the same position as you were
@@adirao2856 slight improvement, but the right side still blocks up, had my check up and the Dr said it still looks blocked. Great 🙄
Plzz tell us about ur recovery plzz
I have a deviated septum, I am 17 and noticed when i was around 15 when someone took a picture of me and i said woahhhh one nostril is bigger than the other lol. I then noticed that when i cover one nostril and then switch and cover the other, One blows out more air than the other. Quick question, Does the ENT do some sort of test to measure how nuch air comes out of the nostril or how do they know when you need surgery? Thanks and god bless you
Hi did u ever find out if the ENT find out how much air you can blow ?
@@99SsZz So theres no way they can measure how much air you blow out your nose but they made me do a CAT scan to see like an xray of my nose and when they saw the xray i had one nostril that was bigger than the other. So my septum was deviated.
@@99SsZz Based on the CAT scan results, it will determine if u need septoplasty or not
@@FlakasLabratory thank you, did you get referred by your gp? I defo have a deviated septum as it’s visible + one side is collapsed especially when breathing in, but idk what my gp will do
Mam do you get sleep due to deviated nasal septum
In how many days you starts feeling better
Done my septoplasty for deviated nasal septum a week ago but still snoring like a lion??When it will stop?? My mouth opens automatically at night for snoring😭😭
Is it better?
Now are you better?
Totally fine..Snoring is better too by doing breathing exercises
@@deepakbhan3565 i mean still you snoring like a lion or there is improvement because my father has gone through same condition
@@deepakbhan3565 no more water rinses? humidifiers? No new congestion? New runny nose? Weird feeling in nose? Less/more mucous?
Things have settled? And it feels like your nose again?
