25M considering deviated septum surgery at Kozhikode Medical College – need advice

Has anyone here undergone nose reconstructive surgery / septoplasty / rhinoplasty at Kozhikode Medical College Hospital in Kerala?

I’m 25 years old and I have a diagnosed deviated septum. I’m considering surgery mainly for functional difficulties, not cosmetic reasons. I’ve been dealing with breathing problems for a long time, along with some difficulty in speaking and occasional hearing pressure/discomfort.

I wanted honest feedback from people who have actual experience with the ENT or plastic surgery department there.

Would like to know:

- How experienced are the doctors?

- How was the surgery outcome?

- Did breathing improve after surgery?

- Waiting period and overall process?

- Post-surgery care and follow-up experience?

- Any complications or things I should be aware of?

- Government hospital pros and cons compared to private hospitals?

If you or someone you know had surgery there, please share your genuine experience — good or bad. It would really help me make a decision.

Also open to suggestions for other good hospitals/doctors in Kerala for septoplasty or reconstructive nose surgery. Thanks.
