Can Fixing the Collapsed Internal Nasal Valve in a Person with Previous Turbinate Reduction Cause Empty Nose?

February 23, 2012
Asked By:11704 in Lindenhurst

I was wondering if it is possible that my collapsed internal nasal valve is preventing me from experiencing signs of Empty Nose Syndrome after submucousal inferior turbinate reduction and cuterization? I am thinking about revision rhinoplasty to fix the collapse but am worried about making matters worse and ending up with an empty nose.
