I have had two surgeries for my deviated septum. The first surgery was to repair both nostrils - which failed on both sides. A year later I had a second surgery that resulted in one side still blocked. It has been over a year since my second surgery and I really don't want to go back for a third, but it is very annoying having the constant feeling something is stuck in my nostril. I had the first surgery at 19 and am now 21.
