Turbinate Reduction Surgery: Improve Your Nasal Breathing

Turbinate reduction is a safe and effective surgical procedure to reduce the size of enlarged nasal turbinates—structures inside the nose that regulate airflow, humidify, and filter the air you breathe. When turbinates become swollen due to allergies, infections, or irritation, they can block nasal passages and cause persistent congestion and breathing difficulties.

Why Is Turbinate Reduction Needed?

Enlarged turbinates often cause:

• Chronic nasal congestion or stuffiness

• Difficulty breathing through the nose

• Frequent sinus infections

• Sleep problems such as snoring or poor rest

If medications like nasal sprays and antihistamines don’t relieve symptoms, turbinate reduction surgery may be the next step.

How Is the Surgery Done?

Turbinate reduction is typically performed under general anaesthesia using techniques like:

• Submucosal diathermy

• Partial removal of turbinate tissue with microdebrider

The procedure shrinks the turbinates to open nasal airways while preserving their essential functions. It is minimally invasive with a quick recovery time.

Benefits and Recovery

After surgery, patients usually experience:

• Easier nasal breathing

• Reduced congestion and sinus infections

• Improved sleep quality

Recovery is generally smooth, with mild swelling or discomfort for a few days. Most patients resume normal activities within a week.
