Empty Nose is an iatrogenic illness, meaning it is caused by the doctor.
In this case, the ear nose and throat (ENT) surgeon or otolaryngologist.
There are many reasons why a person visits the ENT.
Many of these reasons don't require surgery but the ENT will never tell the patient what the underlying cause is.
Nasal surgery is extremely common even in people who never had any breathing problems for the first decade or decades of their lives, and can leave you a nasal cripple.
