My ENT wants to do a harsh turbinate reduction method with scissors and I want a safer method because the turbinates are delicate. Should I go to plastic surgeon instead? I believe if I’m interested in cosmetic services as well my septum can be used to harvest materials for grafts and I can save on anesthesia services.

Answer: ENT or plastic surgeon? ENT or plastic surgeon? Many ENT surgeons also do cosmetic surgery on the nose and may do less aggressive turbinate work such as laser. Similarly many plastic surgeons who specialize in rhinoplasty do some septal work and may do turbinate work if indicated. If you are looking for laser of the turbinates you can also split it up and have a plastic surgeon do your rhinoplasty then to see an ENT in the office for a simple office procedure lasering the turbinates either before or after the Rhinoplasty.

Answer: ENT or facial plastic surgeon for septoplasty and rhinoplasty It's best to see a double board-certified ENT/facial plastic surgeon who can address turbinates , a septoplasty, and cosmetic rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is The most difficult operation to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so it's imperative to choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience. Sometimes septal cartilage is used for grafts when necessary during rhinoplasty procedure. It's very important to be conservative with turbinates so that you do not end up with empty nose syndrome.
