    What Is Turbinate Reduction?

    Turbinates are structures inside the nose that help filter, warm, and humidify the air you breathe. When they become enlarged due to inflammation, allergies, or irritation, they can block airflow and make breathing difficult.

    Turbinate reduction is a procedure that reduces the size of enlarged turbinates while preserving their natural function, helping restore normal airflow through the nose.

    Who Is a Candidate?

    You may be a candidate if you experience chronic nasal congestion, difficulty breathing through the nose, or symptoms that have not improved with medication or non-surgical treatment.

    Patients with turbinate hypertrophy due to allergies, sinus inflammation, or structural abnormalities may benefit from turbinate reduction, especially when symptoms interfere with sleep or daily activities.

    Treatment Options

    Treatment often begins with medication to reduce inflammation and address underlying causes such as allergies or sinus conditions.

    If symptoms persist, turbinate reduction may be recommended as a minimally invasive solution to improve airflow while preserving nasal function.

    Procedure and Recovery

    Turbinate reduction is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques inside the nostrils, meaning no external incisions are required.

    The procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case. Tissue inside the turbinate is reduced using specialized instruments or energy-based techniques to improve airflow.

    After the procedure, patients may experience temporary congestion. Most return to normal activity within a short period, with gradual improvement in breathing as healing progresses.
