Does this look like empty nose syndrome? Will my turbinate grow back or swell up to normal state. (Photos)

Asked By:mikemike831 in Jacksonville, FL

This is a ct 6 weeks after a Septoplasty and turbinate reduction, not sure that technique he used but he did mention he used a device that heats up and shrinks the turbinate. Will my turbinate grow back or swell up to normal state. I’m worried about empty nose syndrome. Do you think this could be a ENS case? Is there anything to use to make turbinates big again or which doctors to speak to about this in NYC
