I had it done with balloons and splints 8 years ago. BALLOON was to widen sinus passages. Best thing I did for that condition. Had it done by the doctor who invented the balloon method. His name is Dr. ANAND, he operates out of Cornell
If you need his number I have it
He operated on my 2 daughters for the same thing.
Not painful anymore, stents stay in a week and then come out. Use to get 7-8 sinus infections a year now 1-2. No bruising you would not even know by looking that you had surgery.Heard that was a pretty painful surgery from a recovery standpoint 20 plus years ago. Plus you looked like you just got out of the ring after a facial battering from Mike Tyson. Is it as painful and unsightly today?
It will be three weeks Monday for me since the surgery. Thanks to hockey sticks and baseballs crashing into my nose, I had 95% blockage on one side and 75% on the other...I've been living like this for 40 years, my wife couldn't listen to my gasping for air thru mouth anymore so I had the procedure.
I required a splint on my nose for 3 days and my internal splint is not removed for 5 weeks, which is extremely annoying because everyone I've spoken with tells me you don't get relief until the splint is removed.
For the record, I had two black eyes and my nose and cheek bones swollen to twice the size, very painful. I'm fine know I just need to get this fuc*ing internal splint removed and my guy waits 5 to 6 weeks...
Reading online it seems all the doctors remove the splint in 2 weeks tops...oh well
Did insurance cover this? What does this cost? Did you stay overnight?
