A member asked:
Is there a risk of emptynose syndrome from radiofrequency turbinate ablation reducing first turbinate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: The empty nose syndrome is from too vigorous reduction in the turbinate . Whether you will end up with it or not depends on the vigor of the reduction. It is usually better to be a little less enthusiastic in reducing the turbinate than over vigorous. One can always get more done later.
