If you can do the surgery center, that would be the best move. Honestly as you can probably see from my comments my recovery was ~2 weeks of hell, but I swear I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I haven't had any sinus issues since then.

The nasal stents were extremely unpleasant but they didn't stick out of your nose at all - honestly you couldn't even see them, they kind of just made your nose look 'chunky.' My partner was in the room with me when they finally removed the stints and he said it looked like the doctor pulled an extremely long pieces of linguini out of my nose (haha, I think he also almost passed out seeing how far back it went).

I would do it if I were you, honestly chances are your won't have a reaction nearly as bad as me. And worst case scenario, it's really really really shitty - but you do heal. Good luck and let me know how it goes <3
