Does surgery mess with turbinates when fixing cysts/polyps and deviated septum or is that a completely different condition and treatment?

Often: It is very common to reduce the size of the turbinates when fixing a deviated septum. When the septum deviates, it impinges on the turbinate in front of it and moves away from the turbinate behind it. The turbinate behind it often sompensates by enlarging. When the septum is returned to the middle, the enlarged turbinate may require reduction to allow for increased airflow.

It usually mean a di: When I am treating someone with nasal airway blockage i look at way they are blocked. If part of the reason is polyps and they have not responded to topical treat net and i want to remove them then then the surgery includes that. If what also is blocking their nasal airway is an enlarged turbinate which has not responses to nasal steroids and antihistamines the surgery will include that.

Mess?: treating the turbinates is a different procedure from removing polyps or correcting a deviated septum. Have your nose evaluated by a board certified otolaryngologist.
