Asked By:loriborders in Sacramento, CA

I am just curious if this bump is my turbinate, I am just trying to figure out if I still have my turbinates since I have an outfracture of the turbinates with my Rhinoplasty. how likely is to get an empty nose syndrome from outfracture of the inferior turbinates. I am just a little worry because I been having some crusting but my doctor said this crusting is normal.
