Turbinate Reduction Surgery
Painless In-Office Reduction Without The Need To Go To The Operating Room
The turbinates are long and narrow tissue with bone inside that protrude into the nasal cavity and when enlarged can obstruct the breathing passage of the nose. Their function is to clean and humidify air as it travels through your nose filtering dirt, pollen, dust and other irritants before they enter your lungs. Turbinate reduction reduces the overall size of the turbinates while still preserving function, breathing and air humidification.
Sometimes allergies, or other sinus related issues, can cause the turbinates to become enlarged and obstruct the nasal airway. Once this happens, the turbinates can obstruct breathing and cause any of the following symptoms, ranging from mild to severe.
- Sneezing
- Congestion
- Headaches
- Frequent Sinus Infections
- Sleep Apnea
