What is Turbinoplasty?
Turbinoplasty is a minimally invasive nasal surgery aimed at improving airflow by reducing the size of swollen or enlarged nasal turbinates. These turbinates, located inside the nose, can become enlarged due to allergies, chronic sinus infections, or structural issues, leading to persistent nasal congestion. This procedure preserves turbinate function while ensuring long-term breathing comfort.
Understanding Turbinoplasty in Detail
Turbinoplasty focuses on correcting nasal obstruction by precisely reducing the size of the inferior nasal turbinates while maintaining their essential role in filtering and humidifying air. Unlike complete removal, this surgery carefully reshapes the turbinates to optimize breathing without compromising nasal health. It is often recommended for patients who do not respond to medication or suffer from chronic nasal blockage. The surgery is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, and recovery is relatively quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week.
