Turbinate reduction: Is helpful most of the time. It will improve your nose breathing. The partial surgical excision of the turbinates will eliminate future complications, but takes more time to heal (6-8 weeks).

Turbinates: There are many different procedures to reduce turbinate hypertrophy, The goal is to reduce hypertrophied tissue while maintaining the mucosal surface, as the turbinates serve an important function. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
