It is tempting to look at the morphology of nasal polyps and dismiss them as an advanced form of congestion. In a sense, that’s precisely what they are. But nasal polyps can levy a far greater toll than mere discomfort.

It is tempting to look at the morphology of nasal polyps and dismiss them as an advanced form of congestion. In a sense, that’s precisely what they are. But nasal polyps can levy a far greater toll than mere discomfort. In some cases, if left unchecked nasal polyps can profoundly alter your quality of life.

Consider the extraordinary story of a Colorado man who lost his sense of smell for ten years due to sinus infections and nasal polyps:

Without smell, Mattos couldn’t fully taste. . . .“The subtleties of food are essentially lost. Most things become pretty bland,” said Mattos.

Nasal polyp removal can be a true game changer, especially for patients who are unaware that these fluid-filled sacs are causing trouble. My Los Angeles sinus surgery center provides the industry standard of care in the treatment of nasal polyps, deviated septums, and a number of related nose and sinus symptoms.
