Turbinate Reduction
Turbinate reduction is a procedure performed to improve nasal obstruction, improve breathing, and reduce nasal drainage and post-nasal drip.
Inferior Turbinate Submucous Resection
This procedure is performed with a small cutting device entirely through the nostrils—no incisions are made on the skin. It aims to preserve the nasal lining while decreasing the submucosal tissue of the turbinates that swells with allergies and irritants.
Radiofrequency Ablation of the Inferior Turbinates
Radiofrequency turbinate reduction is a procedure in which a wand-like instrument is placed within the inferior turbinate. Energy is transmitted to the tissue, thereby shrinking the turbinate. This procedure also involves no skin incision.
More about Turbinate Reduction
Turbinate Reduction is a procedure carried out to reduce the size of the turbinates without affecting their function. It’s beneficial to patients experiencing chronic nasal obstruction and restricted airflow and seeks to improve their quality of life while being minimally invasive. Turbinates are bony structures covered by soft tissue (or mucosa) and are found in the nose. Their job is to regulate airflow and warm the air that comes in when you breathe.
