Is endoscopic sinus surgery painful?

Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed under general or local anaesthetic, meaning you won’t feel any pain during the procedure. 

After your surgery, you may have some mild discomfort, pressure around your nose and a feeling of congestion. Any pain can usually be managed with over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.
