Inferior Turbinoplasty

Inferior Turbinoplasty at Asian ENT Care Centre, Hyderabad

Inferior Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure used to reduce the size of the inferior turbinates, which are structures inside the nose responsible for filtering and humidifying air. When these turbinates become enlarged, they can block airflow, leading to chronic nasal congestion. Asian ENT Care Centre, Hyderabad, specializes in performing this procedure to restore normal airflow, improve breathing, and alleviate nasal obstruction.

What is Inferior Turbinoplasty?

• Inferior Turbinoplasty is a surgical technique that involves trimming or reshaping the enlarged inferior turbinates to improve nasal breathing.
• The procedure can be done using different methods, including radiofrequency, laser, or traditional surgical tools, depending on the severity of the condition.

Why is Inferior Turbinoplasty Done?

• Chronic Nasal Congestion: Persistent blockage caused by enlarged turbinates that do not respond to medications or other treatments.
• Allergic Rhinitis: Inflammation from allergies that leads to turbinate swelling, causing nasal obstruction and difficulty breathing.
• Snoring and Sleep Apnea: Nasal obstruction due to enlarged turbinates can contribute to snoring and sleep disturbances.
• Chronic Sinusitis: Swollen turbinates can prevent proper sinus drainage, leading to frequent sinus infections and pressure.

Benefits of Inferior Turbinoplasty

• Improves Nasal Breathing: The primary benefit is improved airflow through the nose, making it easier to breathe.
• Reduces Congestion: Provides long-term relief from nasal congestion caused by enlarged turbinates.
• Enhances Sleep: Many patients experience better sleep quality due to reduced snoring and airway obstruction.
• Minimally Invasive: The procedure is relatively quick, with a low risk of complications and a faster recovery compared to other types of nasal surgeries.

What Happens During the Procedure?

• Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or in some cases, general anesthesia.
• Surgical Process: The surgeon accesses the turbinates through the nose (no external incisions) and reduces their size by removing or reshaping the tissue.
• Duration: The procedure generally takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the complexity.

Recovery After Inferior Turbinoplasty

• Recovery Time: Most patients experience a quick recovery, with minimal pain or discomfort. You can usually return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks.
• Post-Surgery Care: Patients may be advised to use saline nasal sprays or undergo nasal irrigation to help with healing.
• Follow-Up Visits: Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure proper healing.
• Mild Side Effects: Swelling and mild discomfort in the nasal passages are common but subside within a few days.
