A member asked:
Surgery: tomorrow i'm having nasal polyps removed, he's fixing my deviated septum, & having an extra sinus cavity removed. how long for recovery?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Days to weeks.: This question is best posed to the surgeon since the recovery often depends on the complexity of the surgery. By the way, the sinus cavity is a vacant space which cannot be removed. Did you mean having the opening enlarged or the thickened mucous membrane in the sinus removed?

1-2 weeks: I usually counsel my patients to take a week off from school or work and no exercise or strenuous activity for 2 weeks.
