I am interested in getting a rhinoplasty to shave down my bump and de-project my nose a bit and raise the tip. However, I currently do not have any breathing issues. I am wondering if this is possible to do without having to have my turbinates touched/reduced in size. I am really concerned about ENS.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Most surgeons do not reduce the turbinates routinely if there are no breathing problems. However I often reduce them to prevent later breathing problems from occurring. There’s no right or wrong answer but I have found reducing turbinates to be very helpful
