I've been recommended to have Septoplasty and Inferior Turbinate Reduction Surgery to relieve my 10-years-long obstructed breathing. Tried medication treatment to no avail, will this recommendation help me breathe normally again? Also, does the CT Scan attached show signs of Concha Bullosa (right middle turbinate), my ENT didn't mention it at all ? Appreciate any input as my life is so bad with the obstructed breathing I have. Thanks a lot.
