7 weeks post op. White crust keeps forming on my turbinate that was cauterized. Is there any hope for me?

When people have chronic nasal obstruction from turbinate enlargement, we offer turbinate reduction in our practice for the last 24 years. Some people experience crusting for longer than 7 weeks. Sometimes crusting can persist for many months. We have not seen anyone that has persistent nasal crusting by 6 months after turbinate reduction. Try not to worry about this. We have found that nasal saline irrigation is extremely helpful for nasal crusting. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
