Break the Addiction Before it Breaks Your Nose

New York NY Surgery for Sinusitis

Whether it is medical drug addiction, over the counter drug addiction, or recreational drug addiction – breaking the stronghold is essential to living a healthy and prosperous life. All drugs have side effects. Medically prescribed drugs have many positive benefits to help you better function in life, yet these drugs can also come with a myriad of adverse side effects. One of the most well-researched drug usages is nasal decongestant sprays. Afrin, other over-the-counter nasal sprays, and even medically prescribed nasal sprays to treat nasal obstruction due to sinusitis, upper respiratory infections, and allergies are known to have harmful side effects over long uses.

Nasal sprays use certain active ingredients that restrict blood vessels in the nose. While these nasal sprays can help with congested or stuffy noses, when used for long durations it can result in an addiction to the ingredients. As with any type of addiction, the body requires an increased dosage of nasal spray ingredients to maintain the results. Many users of nasal nose sprays obtain rhinitis medicamentosa, a physical addiction to nasal spray. This addiction causes users the need to continue using a nasal spray to breathe through their nose. Over time, the continued use restricts the blood flow in the nose and causes tissue damage which can lead to saddle nose deformities.

Dr. Maurice Khosh is an expert in repairing saddle nose deformities. His skilled artistry and medical knowledge allow him to use the most advanced techniques to reconstruct the most shape and to restore function. With the use of cartilage grafts and reconstruction techniques, Dr. Khosh excels in using sophisticated methods to create a beautifully shaped nose.

If you are using nasal spray consistently, please speak to your physician about possible addiction. Whether you are aware of your physical dependence or you are worried about the possibility, it is essential to break the addiction. If you have suffered damage to your nasal cartilage and it has negatively transformed the appearance of your nose, contact Dr. Khosh at his office in Manhattan to schedule a consultation appointment. You are in capable hands with Dr. Khosh’s abilities to masterfully repair your damaged nose.

Meredith G.
Saw Dr. Khosh for a fractured nose. He reset my nose beautifully (and with little discomfort to me) and then discussed some of my sinus issues with me upon my follow up visit. Never felt like he was rushing me out and felt very confident in his abilities. I would highly recommend to anyone needing plastic or reconstructive options!

After visiting and being evaluated by several doctors, I kept going back to Dr. Khosh. His tranquil spirit and professionalism were captivating. Thank you for a job well done and keeping me calm throughout the entire process. A special thanks to your staff Susan and Christine for all of their support as well. Hi highly recommend Dr. Khosh.

Upon hearing of the overwhelmingly positive experience a friend of mine had in choosing Dr. Khosh as her surgeon, I decided to make an appointment for my own septoplasty/rhinoplasty/turbinate reduction. Although I was slightly skeptical as the praise I had heard seemed a bit hyperbolic, all uncertainty dissipated after meeting the Doctor and his staff. My pre- and post-operative experience was excellent in terms of concerns adequately addressed prior to the surgery and mitigation of any bruising in the convalescent period. Despite my apparent predisposition to rather slower healing, a year after the surgery, my nose looks really pretty and my breathing entirely unobstructed! I highly recommend Dr. Khosh!
Courtney G.
AMAZING!!!!!! I had Dr Khosh perform lipo on my chin/neck and my result is unbelievable! Better than I could have expected! I met with a couple of surgeons and the second I met with Dr Khosh I knew he was the one I was going with. He was compassionate and explained every detail of what would take place during the surgery and what to expect during recovery. I even emailed a few times during recovery with various questions and he got right back to me asap which was really comforting! I honestly fully recommend Dr Khosh, he did an amazing job and is an amazing person.

Not only does his work speak for himself, but he has excellent bedside manner. His kindness and patience is above and beyond. He takes the time to answer to every question you have to help you understand the process while at the same time making you feel so comfortable. From the first consultation i knew i was in good hands. I am so pleased with the result and forever thankful.
