FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) with turbinoplasty can be done under local or general anesthesia, but the choice of anesthesia depends on the specific procedure and patient's needs. General anesthesia is often preferred for more complex FESS procedures and turbinoplasty, while local anesthesia with sedation may be suitable for less extensive procedures

I've been having some trouble with my nostrils. One of them is always blocked while the other one opens up, and then it sometimes switches. It's making it really hard to breathe through both nostrils at the same time, and it's making me feel really lazy. I'm worried it might be a sign of something more serious or could turn into a major problem. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on and what I should do?

I've been dealing with chronic snoring for a while now and even had nasopharyngeal surgery, but it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try to get some relief? It's really affecting my sleep and I'm worried about why the surgery didn't work

Changing your sleep position, avoiding beverages containing alcohol and maintaining a weight that's healthy for you can reduce snoring. Medications. Cold and allergy medications relieve nasal congestion and help you breathe freely. Nasal strips.
