Turbinateliposuction: Stab incision into the inferior turbinates inside the nose (thru the nostrils) and then shaving the extraneous tissue out using a shaver/suction device--i describe it as shrinking the turbinates in a proven long term manner as like getting "nasal liposuction" to get the turbinate bulk reduced.

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.
