My right Inferior turbinate is too small & left tube is large. Will both turbinates be symmetrical post operation?

February 16, 2014

I will be having a Rhin/Septo/Endoscopic Inferior turbinoplasties. My Inferior turbinate on the right is too small because my septum is curved to the right, and my left tube is large. Does that mean I will need a left turbinate reduction? And a right tube enlargement? Will both turbinates be symmetrical post operation?
