Hard part is the swelling comes back, from what I am understanding your turbinate's swell due to issue internally, what that is who knows. So you reduce their size and yes for years you get relief, then the original issue causes them to grow back again, then your starting over. I know because I am this person, I had sinus surgery and got 12 years peace, now I am swollen 24/7 again. Guess over the years irritation and allergy caused them to swell back to giant size. Now I am faced with living this way or doing another surgery. FUN

Empty nose syndrome is simply not worth it believe me I have it your life will be ruined!!!

No offense, but what was your diet like while recovering from the procedure?

I had coblation done. Worse off. My fault.

The only thing which made me breathe was a Laser

Did that without Result

You don't even say the name of the procedure, very annoying. I had a Vivaer procedure and it was painful and my nose swelled up and was obstructed for weeks. It was a big deal for many weeks. Afrin was not going to help during the recovery period.

Did it work? How are you now? Did you ever make the other video?

comment for raising awareness about Empty Nose Syndrome from these surgeries, which doctors don't talk about

Doesnt work for me

I know this has been a few years now, but did you ever notice any static being recorded by the Mic on its own at all? I have it plugged into a GoPro or a Laptop or a Desktop PC and no matter what (even isolated away) it records a static alongside my voice. I'm thinking my Mic is faulty, but wanted to know what others found...

I'm in Norway, and had this procedure done yesterday afternoon. My problem was only enlarged turbinates in both sides of the nose. The procedure itself was very much the same as you described, but the surgeon had to crack some part of the nasal bone (deep inside) during this procedure without using any extra tools. It was totally painless, but felt very violent, and I could hear the cracking sound, which was very unpleasant. I thought that this would later result in terrible pain after the anesthesia wore off. Fortunately, I was wrong. I feel no pain at all, and the nose bleeding stopped at around midnight when I went to bed. My "sleep" (not really) was just horrible as both nasal passages were obstructed, and I had to breathe through the mouth. I got up from bed after some 11-12 hours extremely tired and dizzy. I was used to nasal sprays to shrink the turbinates. This time, I guess that the air passage was swollen after the procedure, so I couldn't breathe through the nose, and was told not to use any nasal spray to breathe better, but only rinse the nose with saline solution. I guess that the swelling reduced in the early hours of this morning, so could breathe just a little bit through the nose. I could not go to work today, and will also have to take the day off tomorrow, as I feel extremely tired and can not function properly. Hopefully, it will get better in the next few days, and I will also get rid of my dependency on nasal sprays containing oxymetazoline hydrochloride or xylometazoline hydrochloride.

Super helpful, thanks!

This was a helpful review. I was given a new one with no packaging. I'm excited

I’m two weeks out of Deviated septum and turbinate reduction. No big deal, so if you’re thinking of it, don’t be afraid. The worst of it is the first few days when your throat is still a bit scratchy (less than a sore throat from a cold though) and you’re pretty stuffed up from drainage. Keep flushing it with saline the first week until the silicone splint is removed and then be amazed at all the air you’ll get! It makes me so angry that for 20 years I was given the “try this allergy spray” by at least 5 doctors. If your nose is clogged and it isn’t allergy season, insist that you see an ENT specialist. Honestly, surgery is not much worse than having a cold for about a week- don’t watch all the scary TH-cam videos where people can’t feel their teeth or whatever. From talking with friends who had the procedure, people with pain/issues are a rare minority. After my first night I didn’t even need Tylenol and never needed pain pills.

Useless disposable plastic pollution junk

how did it go? How do you feel?

Since so many of you have asked for a follow up, while I have not made any recent videos, I can put details in a comment here. It has been over 2 years since this procedure and the surgery was a complete success. I still have allergies, various times of the year are still more annoying and require more sinus cleaning (saline cleanse). But the original problem I was facing with constantly swollen turbinates was solved via this surgery. If I could speak to my younger self about this surgery I would tell myself to definitely have it done. I do understand though that everyone's experience will be different. A procedure could go poorly, a doctor could make a mistake, your situation could be different than mine, etc. But in my case, this was absolutely a good decision.

I had this procedure this week. The local anesthetic didn't work. Horrific pain for 10 minutes solid, at one point he had to do because so much smoke was coming out my nose. I could feel him driving the probe though the skin into the turbinates and the burning on each one also. I'm terrified it might not have worked and have to go back again. I'm on day 4, no after effects except swelling very little pain now, but very traumatized

I just had this done. Twice. Two times within two months. After years I can finally breath. You can feel progress right away but took a goof week for the swelling to go down. Life changing. Find the best ENT you can. They'll do a proper work up and you'll know you're on the right path. Good luck.

I was hoping to find a follow up video after you have completely healed. I’m wondering if the lack of such video means you’re not pleased with the results ?

What is your condition now??..do you get out of this suffering

DON'T DO THIS DON'T REDUCE YOUR TURBINATES LOOK UP ENS, IT'S NOT WORTH, THIS IS A BS SURGERY

Hello, I did the surgery on November 30th and now it's January 20. I still have nose congestion, I can't breathe well and sleep. The first three weeks after the surgery were disasterous. I was not able to sleep for two or three nights, then on the third night I slept only three-four hours. The worst experience in my life. After day 20, untill now, it's a bit better, but still have problem breathing and sleeping. I want to know is it normal?

The straw is made of plastic. Does this mean it's bad to take hot liquids with it?

how's it going now???

I had this done two years ago, worst mistake in my life!!!!!! I had to have surgery, that was about two or three months ago... And the ent doctor said my sinuses was so destroyed with scar tissue that he couldn't do much!! He said the radio frequency...called Vivear should never be used!! So the ENT did what he could do, .... unfortunately I'm still suffering. I have the hardest time breathing at night .... I'm so tired of it. Not sure what to do now, i pray for healing 🙏🙏🙏 mercy Lord. 😢 Wondering how you're dealing now??? I don't see any new videos saying how you're now .

I had this done and it’s seemingly just made things worse. I can barely breathe out of the left side at all anymore.

First day sucked! Everyone says they felt nothing! lol I felt like a rebar was being shoved into my nose. After My nose dripped like a leaky faucet all day after the procedure. About bed time it slowed down enough that i could sleep and not drown in snotty blood. day 2 Left side opened up real good right side is still stuffed up.

My experience was HORRIBLE! The numbing didn't work and I felt everything! It was the most painful 45 minutes of my life! All they did was give me a nerf ball to squeeze kept saying you're doing great while I was crying, moaning and sobbing, as I squeezed the hell out of the ball. Very traumatizing! 😞

How many days did it take to not be congested post surgery?

I miss this model.

Update pls

hi ! wondering if you could post a post opp update? i’m terrified by ENS But it sounds like radio frequency is less likely or not at all. Would love to hear how you’re doing now!

Hey, how’re you feeling now a days? Was the surgery worth it? Please share

@wellroundedliving Still waiting to see the updated video on this procedure.. Looks like this video was made one year ago..

For me it's any other wires nearby not necessarily the light.

Was your nose stuffy or blocked due to the procedure? My son needs one but he can not stand being block on the nose, so i wonder if it was to swonen. I hope you can share.

Mic sounds good.

Sent you an email for collab days ago. Please search "JMEY" in your email.😍

Hi. How are you now

Anything but single mode is a pain to use

So far I regret I did this 2 days a go .My problem with my breathing was not a problem at all compared to this I feel horrible and panicking I did radiofriquency turbinate redaction so far feel suffocated Afrin help me sleep through the night but I cannot use it all the time before this I barely used any sprays I would not recommend to do it so far hopefully it will get better it’s been only two days after the procedure will keep you posted

Just had this same surgery. The first night was bad as I couldn’t breath through my nose and had frequent sleep disturbances. Similar to how it was before surgery. Started to use a humidifier and nasal decongestant spray and things are much better. Able to breath through both nostrils fully for the first time in years!

I am after the surgery, its been 3 days. 1st day I had blocked nose just like when off Afrin. Just stuffed 100%. the night was horrible. Next day it was better, but still bad. 3rd day nothing has changed. And I am worried it will not work. I was addicted to afrin style of sprays for more then a 10 years. 2 months ago, I stopped using the spray, after 10, 11 years! everyone said it will be okay just need to survive for a week without spray and nose will get to normal. No it didnt happen. I mean I wasng using stuff for 2 months, but nights were bad, during the day, it was bearable. But cannot live like that anymore, went to a doctor and get turbinoplasty. Here I am 3 days after, wishing it will fucking work because I just jump from a windows if it won't. I've had fucking enough. I need to fucking breathe or else I go mental.

Did you have any pain during or after the procedure? Was it worth it? Thanks for the info. I am considering doing this.

thank you so much for this video! Saved me a lot of time xD

hi, so how helpful is the turbinate reduction? I mean do you still have allergy symptoms, nose blockage, etc, that you are considering immunotherapy? Also can you please mention if you experience empty nose syndrome after turbinate reduction? regards

Just got mine done 3 days ago. $1,600 total out the door with 80% insurance coverage.
