My medical history since my turbinectomy in 2013, the treatments I tried, my current symptoms, my CT scan and the airflow simulations of my own nose.
Medical history
- 201311 July 2013
Septoplasty and turbinectomy
- 201431 January 2014No improvement
PRP + PRL injection
Injection of PRP (platelet rich plasma) + PRL (platelet rich lipotransfer) with Dr Donde in Milano. No improvement at all.
- 2015August 20152 weeks only
PRP + ACell injections
Dr Das in Columbus, Ohio, USA. 5 injections of PRP + ACell (liquid extracellular dermis) in both nasal cavities, but mostly the right (the more empty). Improvement during two weeks: more sensations, less empty, more resistance. And after that, return to the starting point.
- 20171 October 2017No improvement
EPO injection
Dr Strauss in Leipzig, Germany. Injection of EPO (erythropoietin) in the turbinate in order to create new blood vessels.
- 201815 December 20182 months only
Ear cartilage implant
Surgery of ear cartilage implantation in the right nasal cavity with Pr Castillo in Nice, France. Some improvements during two months.
- 2023June to October 2023No improvement
Stem cells (ADSCs)
3 injections of ADSCs stem cells at BioScience, San Marino.
- 2024December 2024
Costal cartilage implant
Autologous costal cartilage implant in the remaining inferior turbinates.
Airflow simulations of my nose
Current symptoms
- Central sleep apnea due to lack of nasal sensations.
- Tiredness.
- Dry nose.
- Lack of airflow sensation.
- Hypersensitivity to solvents (ink, paint, new furniture).
CT scan after implant

From your CT scan, I run the same airflow simulation and write you a report.
