Is tonsil removal a scam?

[Deleted member 19766]

Should I ask for tonsil removal during my septoplasty or is there zero point and/or potentially even harmful? I have sleep apnea and deviated septum btw.

No tonsils = no tonsil stones and always good breath

i think its worse for adults tbh, as tonsils are bigger in adults, my theory is that tonsils gives that "fullness" of jaw (aka working with lower masseters to give that width)

Everything in your body has a reason, removing organs is never worth it and muh science is clueless for most part.

Look at the appendix, they used to take them out cuz they thought it was "useless" then ooops looks like it has bacteria to repopulate your gut microbiome now you're fucked after getting food poisoning.

„At 5 years post-treatment, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups except for the lengths of the anterior cranial base and the nose which were still shorter (P< 0.05) in the patient group.“

Ik a few people who have had theirs removed, but I don’t think it is anywhere near as common as wisdom teeth removal

Almost everyone I know has had wisdom teeth removed or is planning to get them removed
