ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES THAT REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE INFERIOR TURBINATES?

Yes, there are many procedures available such as turbinate out-fracture, coblation, and cautery. Most of these procedures attempt to create a scarring reaction within the turbinate to reduce their size. While numerous effective techniques exist, there is a lack of consensus regarding the best one and the long-term results of these procedures are mixed. Under certain circumstances, our physicians may employ some of these other techniques to give our patients the best individualized care possible.
