What Is Turbinate Reduction?
Turbinates are small, bony structures inside the nose lined with soft tissue. Their job is to filter,
warm, and humidify the air you breathe. When they become chronically enlarged—due to allergies,
chronic sinusitis, or structural issues—they block airflow and make everyday breathing a constant
struggle.
Turbinate reduction is a procedure designed to shrink or reposition these structures, opening up the
nasal passages for improved airflow. It can be performed using several techniques, including
radiofrequency ablation, submucosal resection, or outpatient surgical reduction, depending on the
severity of your condition and your provider's recommendation.
For residents of Edinburg, TX, this procedure offers a targeted, effective path to relief—without
the
ongoing dependency on nasal sprays or antihistamines.
