Turbinate in your nose clean and humidify the air as it travels through your nose and into your lungs. There are three small turbinate in your nose, with their positions named inferior, middle and superior. It’s not uncommon for people in Newport Beach to complain of allergies or of constantly inflamed, mucous infested turbinate. If you are considering rhinoplasty in Newport Beach, it can be possible to have your turbinate reduced during your procedure to improve your breathing.
Decreasing the turbinate in size will correct nasal obstruction while simultaneously decreasing airway resistance, most importantly, preserving the natural function of the turbinate. After your rhinoplasty and turbinate reduction procedure you should experience a substantial improvement in breathing as well as some reduction in nasal drainage.
Turbinate reduction can be performed in conjunction with a primary rhinoplasty procedure or during a revision procedure. If you are choosing to have your turbinate reduced during a revision rhinoplasty procedure be sure you have given your turbinate and nose ample time to heal. Profuse mucous production post-rhinoplasty surgery does not always mean that you need surgery to fix them. Depending on the patient, the turbinate can stay inflamed for weeks or even months.
Some techniques for turbinate reduction may not require an incision or cut to be made, if you decide not to have rhinoplasty surgery you can still choose to have your turbinate reduced at any time. It is important to discuss both functional and cosmetic problems with your Newport Beach plastic surgeon. Communicating your expectations with your surgeon will set you up for the best possible outcome.
