  have as much as 8 Sinus cavities.

  available, like

• Sinus surgery Detailed procedure
• Before you go through a sinus operation in
  Singapore, you need to follow these steps,
• A small telescope will be inserted into your
  nasal passage, so the surgeon can get a detailed
  look
• After that, the surgeon will start the operation
  to remove any blockages, tiny sections of your
  bone and polyps
• Though you will be placed under anesthesia, but
  still you will be able to hear the surgeon
  removing things from the sinus system.

• Sinus operation Preparation
• If the clinic has confirmed the date of your
  sinus operation, they will tell you about the
  dos and donts.
• But still, we would like to give you some general
  advises, like
• You should completely avoid typical OTC drugs,
  like ibuprofen and aspirin at least a week before
  the surgery
• If you have certain conditions, like a cardiac
  stent, you must tell you doctor about that, as
  you cannot stop taking medication in such case
• If you take any other medication, consult with
  your doctor about it thoroughly
• On the day of your sinus operation, arrange a
  ride for yourself as you may not be able to do
  that on your own
• Sinus operation Potential risks and side effects
• Even after using all the advanced medical
  technology, we cannot say that sinus operation is
  completely risk-free. Though serious
  complications are quite rare, you may experience
  severe nose bleeding after the surgery.
• So, if you experience long-lasting headaches,
  redness, and swelling near around your nose and
  eyes and have a high fever, get in touch with
  your doctor as soon as possible.
