Surgery Allows Woman to Finally Breathe Fully After 30 Years

Title Surgery Allows Woman to Finally Breathe Fully After 30 Years
Summary When this woman had surgery on her deviated septum, she was able to take a full breath in a TikTok that amassed over 5 million views. Ashley Owens had spent over 30 years being unable to breathe out of one side of her nose and needed septoplasty and nasal wall reconstruction to fix the issue. A week after the surgery on January 8th, Ashley then had to have the packing removed from her nose in Nashville, Tennessee. When the packing was removed, Ashley was shocked at the feeling of being able to breathe fully and called out for her mother, encouraging her to also get the surgery. Ashley said, “It’s all so new to me, all this oxygen hitting my brain and cold air hitting the back of my throat, where I now know is where you’re supposed to feel the air when you inhale.”
