Tony Vanetti has Vivaer procedure completed on live television. 

Exactly and it’s still horrible and I my nose is worse tonight! And the needles were extremely painful I came out of the chair I was screaming and crying and I didn’t even do my other nostril! So far it’s not been worth it ? They don’t show the needle going up each side of his nostrils and that cause they will scare you he didn’t just get the cotton in his nose oh and I got needles injected inside my upper lip too!

Same. But the pain was less concerning than the nosebleed the first injection caused which didn’t completely stop for 12 hours.

I agree! Shots are so painful. I was in pain through ALL procedure. I’m going on 6 days and right side nostril not doing too good yet.

I had Rhinaer done 2 weeks ago. The numbing shots are not bad at all, but I also had the other numbing stuff stuck in my nasal cavities. Maybe uncomfortable, partly because it’s right in your face, but I experienced almost no pain. It’s worth it anyways, you wouldn’t want to feel the actual pain.

@@TheYouthquaker “The numbing shots aren’t bad” for YOU. Bro stfu with that useless reply

How do you feel 2-3 weeks after?

Tell us how do you feel now !

Can you breathe better now??

Have you recovered ?

Can you give us an update on your procedure and it’s affect?

Ditto. Had this done yesterday. Read my comment above. Did the doc end up cracking some bone during the procedure? I can't find anyone else who had that same experience. What's the update for you?

How are you feeling now?

Do you still regret it???

found me!! Had this done this past Monday as yesterday (tues.) was my Birthday.... Yes The sounds of bone cracking was crazy!!! He missed a spot he didn't numb in the right inner nostril and afterwards I was a bloody mess. He had to change the guaze! Feeling much better today!! @@traw9865

Can you please give us an update

Why? Can you tell me? I was planning on getting it

​@@CT-um7zqfor me it left scar tissue, my ENT used Vivear on my swollen turbinates. ... After two years I went to another ENT for surgery, that ENT Said there was nothing else he could do for me because of all the scar tissue.. So I'm still suffering from it like before I had Vivear.

Please tell us more. It didn't work for you?

​@@CT-um7zqit left me swollen for a month, and then after I still couldn't breathe well,...I finally went to a new ENT after about two years that performed surgery on my turbinates ...he said it was so much scar tissue from the vivear that he couldn't do much and after I saw him again he said there was nothing more that he could do for me.. (not a good feeling at all!!)

​@@weirdinagoodway19read my comment from above

How are you feeling now ? Did it help ?

No! My nose is just as stopped up as it ever was. And the doctor said it may be have to be done again. I will never, ever have this done again. Maybe if you went to someone who was more experienced than my doctor you could get results. In the meantime, I'm going to use Flonase.

Linda. I’m 3 days into this procedure. Can you let me know when the dried up mucus/blood will fall out ? I still can’t breathe

@@lindadunkin2830 thanks for sharing your experiences.

Can you give us an update on your procedure and it’s affect?

talked to a doc today and she said I would have difficulty breathing for about 10 days! Oh boy. Don't know if I want to go through that.

How is it now 😄 belts us know please

@@CT-um7zq It’s been a few months, and I’m really happy with the results!

It’s worth it! The procedure changed my life.

​@@TheYouthquaker did you snore before the procedure? If you did it, did it improve that at all. Also what was your experience before and after

Aww. My doctor was talking to me about this yesterday. He told me it would last about 5 yrs. 😔

YES !!! ANY NASAL PROCEDURE DESTROYING EVEN SMALL AREA OF NASAL MUCOSA CAN RESULT IN DEVELOPMENT OF ENS (empty nasal syndrome). In fact ENS is a misnomer, correct name is post-turbinectomy syndrome or better : post nasal surgery syndrome. Extremely dangerous syndrome - it will virtually destroy your life !!!

Any work the the nose with hot instruments like this can….rolling the dice.

I have the same symptoms after botched nasal surgery. I use nasal saline gel, at night is the worse.

Cindy, it was this type of procedure or regular classic surgery ?

This definitely sounds like mild ENS (Empty Nose Syndrome). I letarally feel the same exact way, some days worse then others (specially on cold weather)..

Dr K did mine and I noticed zero improvement and he said I was the perfect candidate for this procedure.

😝

You would only ever get ENS if the turbiantes were removed and took away the middle part of turbinate. This and reduction/shrink of the turbinates with the Celon System! The ENT that is doing mine, said nobody gets ENS from this-and to never ever to remove them and never touch the middle turbinate just the left + the right sides!

I think in this process .. It damage our Nasatblood vessel &nervous in nose... Can cause congestion again

You have done it before ? No useful?

Lee R hi，where you get the operation,I suffer from nasal septum.i want do the vivaer

@@shaoyuanable if nasal septum deviated you do NOT need Vivaer but rather nasal septum correction.

Have someone with a LED small light look in dark in your nose - is the turbinate swollen (if swollen on can see like the contour of an olive or cherry deep in the opening of the nose) OR is the nasal slit too narrow ?!? - one also can see that well if dark on room and gently touch the light to side of nose (do NOT press on nose) bend his/her head backwards and observe the nasal opening. Do this to few people for comparison.

5 days after + my nose is swollen and congested. I’m sleeping sitting up so it’s easier to breath, putting Vaseline on outside of nose, saline spray all day + saline irrigation 3x a day for relief. I hope I see some improvement soon.

@@maggie7843any updates?? Pleasee

Are you breathing better now?

@@cooljazzr Spoke to my doc and he confirmed my bad reaction to the procedure is rare, like 20-30% (which is actually a large percentage in my opinion). Swelling and pain has since gone and breathing seems to be much better.

The crunching was probably your doctor moving your turbinates outward. I had this procedure done today and my doctor also cracked/crunched bone at the end, but he described it as pushing the turbinates over.

Crunch and crack bone?? That sounds alarming to me. Think that explains your hit with a sledge hammer feeling?

Been about 6 months now and wanted to give a quick update. Breathing doesn't seem any better than before the procedure, just can't tell. I have a lot of sinus inflammation, so maybe this procedure wasn't even for me to begin with and was just a money grab for the doc. I'm still constantly having to use nasal saline to open up my sinuses to breath a little better. All in all, I don't think it was worth it and wouldn't put myself through it again.

I had it done today specifically for my deviated septum so it should work for you.

Does it last only 2 years is it true

Did you reduce your turbinates again by vivair?

@@yahyaelmi8435 they did not do a turbinate reduction with the vivair procedure. They did the vivair procedure on the lower part of my nasal passageways

I am trying to find out the same thing

@@ercushkakulmetov7458 I'm also interested in long term results. I found a quality of life clinical trial following patients for 2 years after this procedure and will report their results in Aug 2019, clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03290300. I plan to wait for these results then will consider Vivaer.

@@cheryls9891 curious to know

@WarpedTrekker My doctor suggested this too but I'm afraid

@WarpedTrekker I have ENS and they only removed ten percent

I have a severely stuffy nose that is worse that what I had before but this is my first night after the procedure and it was a very painful procedure I felt it all even with all the injections and I felt the heat whatever they use for numbing doesn’t work very well.. I almost came out of the seat and was screaming pulled a muscle in my neck and I was very angry during it. But I knew doc was trying to really helped me and this nasal pain is expected I guess and the completely stuffed up nose 5 hours after the procedure

Is any treatment for it ?!? No, there isn’t, one just needs to learn to live with it. Get a finger pulse oximeter to assure that the oxygen in blood is ok (always ok in EN syndrome) and keep your mind preoccupied with other things, just don’t think about your shortness of breath, go to bed when really tired and get some OTC sleeping tea or pills. Try to avoid thinking of it because it easily can drag you into desperation, keep your mind preoccupied with other things. You will see that IT WORKS !!!

Would you say this is a better way?

@@DadTheBoxer Definitely i would chose first a non-invasive procedure. The problem is that Latera and Vivaer are not covered by most insurances and the charge is about 3k-5k (both nostrils). Also is to be noted that the procedure although simple it does require a certain skill which few ENT physicians do posses.

But i would absolutely chose a non-invasive vs. cartilage implant. I had the “classic” procedure in May 2021 and then since every day became an ordeal, the cartilage implants had to be removed after 2 months and i was left with the so called “ENS”. Going back i do realize that a good general practitioner could have fixed me for 100$ instead of the 33,000 $ that the final bill came to just for the first surgery alone. And i could not even file for malpractice since the animal is designated a “state entity” and most of the lawyers said “well … u did not die yet”.

@@anonymousbyproxy8250 are you saying that aside from the cost that this method is preferable and less risky when it comes to getting empty nose syndrome?

That's terrifying.

@@Chloroformgirl73 extremely i would be traumatized for life

Because your surgery was done by a cretin, and there are so many in the field of medicine especially in the countries where admission is not based on secret/competitive/written exam.

Hi there! We have 8 locations in Kentucky and Indiana. You can check them out or schedule an appointment here: www.advancedentandallergy.com/

I'm so pissed off

I could not find the biophysical principle behind this procedure, by the comments it seems that only half of the patients find it worthwhile.

It took me nearly a month but the results are pretty amazing.

Thanks bro. And how much did it cost?

@@carlosaguilar4599 $1,950 USD for me with no insurance. Sigh. America...

Thank You Bro i hope it works for me

I got mine done about 3 days ago, can tell there's seriously more room in my nose but it does take a little while to see serious results

How did it go?

@@CT-um7zq she must not have made it.

@@CT-um7zq it was ok. The numbing does hurt the most, but I got through it. I’m still in the healing process right now. Had a few nose bleeds, but that’s a different issue. Hopefully in a couple more weeks, I’ll really notice the difference tho.

@@bd3287 heyy pleasee give us an update. Im gonna do it next Thursday… well i might if I read enough good comments about it

@@moonlover3793 unfortunately for me it didn’t really help me. Helped with the bloody nose issue tho (a lot less nose bleeds)

mhonig34685 how’s the recovery going now? Are you breathing better?

Update on breathing?

Sounds like septoplasty and surgery.

@@ESLinsider It's not. This procedure is significantly less invasive. Your nose doesn't drip blood for a week after. The post-procedure pain is minimal. You don't have to sleep upright in a chair for a few weeks. Just wait for the swelling to go down and within a few weeks to a couple months you will likely see drastic improvement. Talk to your doctor and see if it's right for you. If it is, go for it. Sometimes it seems subtle but I think this procedure changed my life.

I am looking for a doctor doing this procedure in Florida. Would you recommend the doctor who performed your surgery? Would you share his name? Thank you.

Yvette Meekins please post after you have the procedure done. I’m in the same boat as you. I’m really interested in getting this done

So how is the results

@@jremeee2011 How u doing now ? Did u have any procedure ?

Hello .how is your breathing now

I swelled for weeks. Went back on afrin couldn't take it. Waste of time money and mental health. Back where I started 2k dollars lighter.

I’m 3 days in and I still can’t breathe bc it’s swollen and I’m assuming dry blood. The doc said it would take 4-6 weeks. I’m praying this works. Does anyone know if the doc removes the scar tissue when you come back in or will it fall out ?

It takes a while to heal but Unfortunately for me after it healed I still couldn't breathe through my nose very good. It didn't help me at all

@@julianbonnin7213 Any scar tissue eventually fells off by itself.

In the US the best ENTs are those coming from India and who got their training in India. If it is not done in India it means that it is not a valid procedure.

He walked out of the office as soon as he completed this and went to a golf outing. There really isn't much of a healing process. It's like a normal office visit.

@@AdvancedENTandAllergy That's a bit misleading. Perhaps compared to more invasive procedures, but you don't just walk out and go about your day like normal. In a couple of hours when the anesthesia wears off, you start to feel the pain which does eventually go away, but only to be replaced by intense sinus pressure from swelling, which the swelling is bad. Expect your entire nose inside and out to be very swollen. My swelling spread to the rest of my face. You will have a difficult time sleeping starting the first night as the post nasal drip continues, the sinus pressure, stuffiness, swelling, dry mouth/through from having to mouth breathe. It's a very uncomfortable healing process, at least the first couple of days which is where I'm at.... and from what I'm seeing from comments in this video and others, most have the congestion and difficulty breathing through their nose for several weeks to a couple of months and beyond. So, to say that you just walk out like nothing happened and there isn't much healing isn't truthful and I'm seeing a lot of doctors playing it off as such.
