If you suffer from turbinate dysfunction, Dr Grundlingh can help. The first step in treatment is visiting an ENT doctor in order to discuss your symptoms and past medical issues, as well as undergo a formal exam of the affected area. Doctors use special tools to examine the inside of the nose, and determine whether turbinate reduction could benefit you.
During turbinate reduction treatment, your doctor will likely give you a general anaesthesia during the procedure to minimize discomfort.
During the procedure, your doctor will reduce the turbinates in your nose with radiofrequency energy, which gently removes a portion of the nasal turbinates. Within a few days to a week, most patients begin to notice greater ease when breathing.
