1. Preoperative condition I always had trouble breathing in daily life. My nasal obstruction was severe, so I often breathed through my mouth even during the day, and at night my snoring was bad enough to bother my family. In particular, I could barely breathe through my left nostril, and because I often woke up during sleep, fatigue would build up. 2. Surgery process and recovery Director Kim Seon-gu explained things very carefully and kindly during the consultation. Through CT imaging, we confirmed that my nasal septum was deviated into almost an 'ㄱ' shape, and he made a surgical plan for septoplasty + inferior turbinectomy. The surgery was performed with a combination of local anesthesia and sedation, and I was discharged the same day without hospitalization. The first week of early recovery was quite uncomfortable. During the period when nasal packing was inside my nose, it was hard to breathe, and I also had a slight headache. But after the packing was removed one week later, I became comfortable very quickly. 3. Changes after surgery (at 6 months) ✅ Breathing has become really comfortable. I can now feel air coming in "refreshingly" through my left nostril. It was the first time I realized that being able to take a deep breath could be such a great happiness. ✅ My snoring has almost disappeared. My family noticed it first. Before surgery, it was bad enough that I would wake myself up while sleeping, but now my sleep quality has clearly improved, and my fatigue has noticeably decreased. ✅ Chronic rhinitis symptoms also improved The symptom of having a runny nose all the time has almost disappeared, and I blow my nose less every morning. ✅ No external change Although it was septal surgery, externally my nose did not become crooked or change shape at all. I am also very satisfied that only the internal structure was corrected naturally. 4. Review of Director Kim Seon-gu & Kocoline Clinic Director Kim Seon-gu is truly outstanding in both skill and explanation. He is very kind before and after surgery and explains what is needed well at the patient's level. The overall atmosphere of Kocoline Clinic was also clean and systematic. Closing I am so satisfied that I wonder why I did not do this surgery sooner. If you are worried about deviated nasal septum, chronic nasal obstruction, or snoring, do not hesitate and please get a consultation. Your quality of life may change dramatically like mine.
