Does anyone have experience with VIVAER airway remodeling for Nasal Obstruction?

Question

I have had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction and I still cannot breathe well through my nose. I found a new procedure online that can be done in the office or in surgery. Does anyone have experience with this? Seems non-invasive, which I like!

Hello. I perform hundreds of rhinoplasties and sepoplasties every year.   I am very skeptical about this device and it’s results.  My prediction is that you may get a little relief short term but in the long term most patients will not see improvement. The sidewall of the nose, if truly weak and collapsible, requires cartilage support beams to stay open. This devide does not create support rather just creates some scar tissue to stiffen the side of the nose. That rarely, if ever, works. The device, like many others, is brilliantly marketed but I seriously doubt it works long term. I recommend that you see a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who performs lots of rhinoplasty and septoplasties to help guide you. In Oklahoma City I recommend Dr. Scott Shadfar.  I wish you the best, Dr. Ardeshirpour
