My Experience

I couldn’t breathe very well out of my nose and I had sinus headaches. My doctor recommended endoscopic sinus surgery.

Before the surgery I went to the surgeon for an examination. On the day of the surgery I went to the hospital, was given anesthesia and the surgery was done. It was all pretty easy.

I felt fine after the procedure, though I was a little tired and nauseous. My recovery went well. It only took a couple of weeks and I had no bruising.

 

My Advice

Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of the surgery. Get explicit instructions on after-surgery care.
