I was thinking about getting a turbinate reduction since my nose congestion has been unbearable lately.

Asked By:dalack in Boston, MA

I was researching side effects of turbinectomy and came across a few sites that mention Empty Nose Syndrome. What are the chances that if I have my turbinates reduced that I end up with this syndrome? If I did end up with Empty Nose Syndrome, what treatments are available for it? If you do recommend turbinate surgery, what type of procedure do you recommend to shrink them?
