Well, part of it is deviated septum, but it's also the... This is going to be so fun. The... entryways to my sinuses are very small, like freakishly small. Right. So they want to make your holes bigger. Exactly. Yes. There's going to be a lot of that's what she says on this episode. But they want to slide into my holes and make them bigger. Make them bigger. Okay. I got it.

Five say it's the best thing they've ever done. It's changed their life. Five say it didn't do anything for them, but it didn't affect them in any way, shape or form, good or bad. And five say it's the worst decision they've ever made and they would never do it again. They've had to have mop up surgeries. So it's like I literally have no idea. You talk to one person like do it.

332.509 - 346.697 Unknown

Depends on the doctor. All of them say the same thing and they say it tongue in cheek jokingly. They all go, well, we love to perform surgery, so I'd be happy to do it. And I'm like, that's creepy and weird. I know. One of them said, how did you get into my house?
