Turbinoplasty

Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the turbinates, which are structures within the nasal passage that help humidify and filter the air we breathe. When the turbinates become enlarged, they can block airflow, causing breathing difficulties and nasal congestion. This surgery involves reducing the size of the turbinates to improve nasal airflow and relieve symptoms of nasal obstruction. Turbinoplasty is often performed in conjunction with other nasal surgeries like septoplasty. Recovery is generally quick, with most patients experiencing significant improvements in breathing.
