Is there a risk of developing Empty Nose Syndrome after a rhinoplasty (without septoplasty/turbinate reduction)?

Empty nose syndrome is rare even after turbinectomy. If you are not having tubinectomy your risk of empty nose is extremely low

Empty nose syndrome after rhinoplasty: I have never had a case of empty nose syndrome after a rhinoplasty, nor have I ever heard of a patient developing empty nose syndrome after a standard rhinoplasty without septal work or turbinate reduction. I can’t imagine how or why that would occur.

This seems highly unlikely if the turbinates were untouched. Empty nose syndrome is due to over aggressive reduction of the turbinates, which function to warm, humidify, and regulate nasal airflow. They contain airflow receptors on their lining and if they are over reduced, although air will flow through the nose, the patient will not be able to sense it. This is quite rare nowadays as surgeons recognize how important the turbinates are but if it does happen there is little that can be done to help it.
