I didnt get the sinuplasty. I got the knife and shop vac treatment back in 2014. Nose is still open today. Recovery was not that big a deal. No bending over for however many days. I did pass out in the day after the surgery while take a shower though. The gel gauze let loose all at once and my shower turned into a murder scene. Took a quick nap and woke up once the water started running cool. Good times.
