Hello...I don't have the best health record due to my constant battle with my sinus. It seems every year for the past 5 years now I've been having at least sinus infections 3-4 times a year. To make it worse I also get bad ear infections due to the mucus build up. I have seen my ENT doctor and he had several X-rays of my deviated septum which led him to advise that I should surgically get this fixed. Since I have a chronic sinus problem, would it be a good time to get a septoplasty?

Answer: Is it time to get a septoplasty? Hi and thanks for your question. The ultimate decision to undergo surgery must be made between you and your surgeon based upon your history and the surgeon's examination. It isn't really possible to give medical advice on the web for such a complicated problem. My best advice is to listen to your surgeon who knows you better than the rest of us. Best of luck!

Answer: Time for a septoplasty Hi Frankie,It sounds like your main complain is sinus infections. If that is the case, a septoplasty and possibly sinus surgery can help reduce the frequency of your sinus infections. Ask your surgeon about sinus surgery and consider seeing a surgeon with experience in sinus surgery.Septoplasty and rhinoplasty can help with nasal obstruction and sometimes is needed in conjunction with sinus surgery. But if your main complain is sinus infections, look for a sinus specialist.Hope this helps!
