I have asked 2 nurses and 1 ENT doctor about it (bilateral inferior turbinate reduction) so far out of curiousity. They all have told me it depends on how much obstruction there is in the first place. Like similar to if someone punched me on the arm, I would get a big bruise, but it will shrink over time ( bruise= my turbinates) But i have yet to see any questions like this on google search. Mine is very obstructive.
