What Is
Inferior Turbinate Reduction?

Inferior turbinate reduction is a procedure performed when enlarged turbinate blocks the nasal airway.


When medications fail to reduce turbinate swelling—caused by chronic rhinitis, allergic reactions, or other conditions—surgical reduction may help relieve symptoms by improving airflow.

What Are the Surgical Methods To Treat Turbinate Hypertrophy?


1. Outfracture

This method widens the nasal airway by repositioning the enlarged inferior turbinate outward toward the lateral nasal wall.

2. Radiofrequency Volume Reduction

Using a specially designed probe, this technique shrinks the turbinate tissue without cutting. It is less invasive than laser treatment, causes minimal pain or bleeding, and allows for a quick recovery—making it a comfortable option even for those concerned about undergoing surgery.

3. Submucosal Resection

This procedure removes part of the turbinate tissue and bone directly and is typically performed when less invasive methods are not sufficient.
