Inferior Turbinoplasty

Inferior Turbinoplasty

Advanced Treatment for Chronic Nasal Blockage in Kurnool

What is Inferior Turbinoplasty?

Inferior Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to reduce the size of enlarged inferior turbinates inside the nose.

Turbinates are soft tissue structures inside the nose that help warm, humidify, and filter the air you breathe. When they become enlarged (due to allergy, sinusitis, or chronic irritation), they can cause persistent nasal blockage.

Turbinoplasty reduces their size while preserving their function.

What Causes Enlarged Turbinates?

Common causes include:

• Chronic allergies

• Recurrent sinus infections

• Deviated nasal septum

• Long-term nasal spray use

• Environmental pollution

Symptoms of Enlarged Inferior Turbinates

You may experience:

• Constant nasal blockage

• Difficulty breathing through the nose

• Mouth breathing

• Snoring

• Sleep disturbance

• Frequent sinus infections

If medications do not provide relief, surgery may be recommended.
