Anecdotally, I had a deviated septum correction and turbinate reduction (not complete removal.. I think they were cauterized down?) surgery last spring. It was mildly uncomfortable for a day or two after the surgery. Before the surgery I was a chronic snorer and couldn't breathe through solely my nose when running/cycling. I would get awful daily sinus headaches that would make it really difficult to focus on coding. I now no longer snore at all and can breathe through my nose all the time and am a lot more comfortable during aerobic exercise and my headaches are mostly gone. I still use antihistamines and sinus rinses to keep the rear part of my sinuses from bothering me.
