The inferior turbinates are structures inside your nose that help filter, warm, and humidify the air you breathe. When healthy, they play an important role in respiratory function. But when these tissues become chronically enlarged (hypertrophied) — due to allergies, infections, or structural issues — they can obstruct airflow and lead to persistent nasal congestion.
At Atkins Sinus in Montreal, we offer minimally invasive turbinate reduction procedures to restore proper nasal airflow and improve your breathing long term.
If medications like antihistamines, nasal sprays, or decongestants haven’t provided lasting relief, surgery may be recommended to reduce the size of the turbinates and create more space in your nasal passages.
Candidates for Turbinate Reduction Often Experience:
Turbinate surgery is often performed alongside procedures like septoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery to treat more complex nasal airflow issues.
At Atkins Sinus, we offer several safe, effective options depending on your anatomy and symptoms.
Common Procedures Include:
All procedures are performed by our experienced ENT surgeons using minimally invasive techniques, often under local or general anesthesia.
Inferior turbinate surgery is typically done as an outpatient procedure, meaning you can go home the same day.
Aftercare and Recovery:
Our team will provide you with detailed post-op instructions and care to ensure the best possible outcome.
When performed by an experienced ENT specialist, turbinate surgery can lead to life-changing improvements in nasal function and quality of life.
Key Benefits Include:
If you’re dealing with chronic nasal congestion that isn’t improving with medications, inferior turbinate surgery may be the right solution. Our ENT experts at Atkins Sinus are here to help you breathe comfortably again.
