I had my surgery October 8th, 2010. Wanted to share my experience for other people who will go through this and are curious about the Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction method as well. I did not need to have any packing inside my nose with it. So far
Recovery Day 3 after a Septoplasty and Turbinate Reduction Email me if you have any questions: [email protected]
I got my deviated septum straightened, my sinuses drained and my turbinates shrunken. In this video I talk about what it was like and how I'm recovering! If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll respond!

Today is day 3 after a septoplasty and cyst removal. I feel pretty good so far! Hope these videos help ease some thoughts! Next post will be stint removals in 5 days :)
Day 5 and I've left my gauze off. Bit stingy but it's ok. Two days and my cast comes off!
