I've been dealing with sinus issues for the past year and my doctor recommended septoplasty surgery. I'm a bit worried is this procedure really 100% curable? What can I expect in terms of recovery and long-term results?

Septoplasty is not a 100% guarantee for a cure, but it has a high success rate in improving nasal airflow and sinus issues. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, and long-term results can be permanent, but some patients may experience lingering issues or complications
