Turbinate reduction
Reduction of turbinates can certainly be performed at the same time as any nasal surgery - including rhinoplasty or septoplasty

Turbinates can be treated at any time
Turbinate reduction can be performed at the time of a primary or revision rhinoplasty. Profuse mucus production does not necessarily mean that your turbinates need surgery. After any nasal surgery the turbinates can be swollen for weeks or months. Doing a reduction surgery on your turbinates before giving the nose a chance to heal may be premature. You should get an evaluation by an Otolaryngologist to determine the best course of action. I hope this helps.

If necessary, turbinate reduction can and should be done during your revision rhinolasty surgery. Discuss both functional and cosmetic problems with your surgeon.
