Not Worth It
Spent: $4,125 in San Jose, California

I had septoplasty and turbinectomy performed because I had been suffering with chronic sinus infections and developed mucous retention cysts in my sinuses. This led to me being chronically fatigued and sleep-deprived. I was hoping it would improve my health, thereby improving my quality of life.

What do I do now that I'm certain my doctor performed my septoplasty and turbinectomy on the wrong side of my nose? Are there any increased chances of problems/risks involved with a corrective septoplasty/turbinectomy?

He obviously performed my septoplasty/turbinectomy on the wrong side of my nose.
