Empty nose syndrome is when, during septal correction, excessive resection of the turbinates makes the space inside the nose overly wide, which can instead make breathing difficult or cause severe dryness. After surgery, the airway for breathing through the nose is secured, but because air resistance is not felt, these symptoms can occur. I want to carefully check whether this could happen to me as well and share information.
