I sure would be willing to have this done just to see if it would help with my sinusitis.

Has any Freeper's had it done? If so, I would like to hear if it help you or not.

if it's such a benign procedure why do they need general anesthesia. i had my wisdom teeth out with local, and this can't hurt as much

Isn't this similar to correcting a nose's deviated septum?

I have a treatment. But I wouldn't recommend it. I use afrin every time my sinuses close up. Which is about 10 times a day. When they say it's habit forming, they're not kidding. But it works, unlike everything else.

There are some people who have fat enough heads already. this procedure would just encourage them.

It's been over a year since my sinus surgury, and it was pretty funky indeed. I hope this new approach makes it easier on others needing it.

My answer is the same as with laser eye surgery. "With my luck, I'd sneeze at the wrong moment and be disfigured for life."

I THOUGHT of the idea several years ago. cutting edge my foot...But due to my lack of influence and outlet to express my ideas, I wouldn't have convinced anyone to do it anyway...I was about to, seriously, thinking of sticking a balloon up my nose, and hooking it up to a compressed air tank with an on/of valve. Most sinus problems are due to lack of symmetry in the passages, so I figured this would be a cheap, easy fix. Now these "doctors" are getting the credit...
