Empty Nose Syndrome is a complex and confusing problem caused by old operations on the nasal turbinates {when they are removed completely).

I explain why I think this happens and talk through my process of how I figured it out my theory. in the end I explain how I treat ENS and how to prevent it.

I hope you find this video useful.
