Introduction
Turbinate reduction is a functional ENT procedure designed to reduce enlarged nasal turbinates — structures inside the nose that help warm and humidify the air you breathe.
When turbinates become chronically enlarged (turbinate hypertrophy), they can cause persistent nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, snoring, and reduced quality of life.
This procedure focuses on improving nasal airflow while preserving the turbinates’ essential function.
