DOES NOSE SURGERY AND SINUS SURGERY WORK?
In the right hands it does all the time.
We get a lot of patients who had been having significant nasal problems for some time which is affecting their health and their quality of life both while awake and during sleep. The reason for writing this post is that these very patients who come to the clinic seeking consultation tend to balk when informed that surgery is the option either at the onset or after failure of medical treatment. They are afraid or not confident that surgery will help because of poor knowledge and misinformation. Datuk himself has first-hand experience because his wife was misinformed by her regular GP to never let an ENT do surgery on her nose despite her having significant nasal problems. The misinformation is partly due to the ENT specialist and partly due to the patients who have undergone nose surgery (Sinus surgery, Deviated Nasal septum surgery or Turbinate reduction surgery).
