At Prima ENT Hospitals in Hyderabad, we specialize in providing expert care for nasal obstructions through our turbinoplasty and conchoplasty services. Our state-of-the-art facilities and highly trained ENT specialists are dedicated to improving your nasal function and enhancing your quality of life.
Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the turbinates in the nose, which can become enlarged due to allergies, infections, or other factors. Enlarged turbinates can lead to nasal blockages, affecting breathing and sleep.
Conchoplasty targets the nasal conchae—particularly when they become excessively large or are malpositioned—to reshape or reduce them, thereby improving airflow through the nasal passages.
Q: What are the symptoms that might indicate I need a turbinoplasty or conchoplasty? A: Common symptoms include chronic nasal congestion, difficulty breathing through the nose, recurrent sinus infections, and nasal blockage that does not improve with medications.
Q: How long is the recovery period after these procedures? A: Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, although full recovery can take up to several weeks. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions to help manage recovery.
Q: Are there risks associated with turbinoplasty and conchoplasty? A: As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved, such as bleeding, infection, or changes in nasal sensation. However, these procedures are generally safe and complications are rare.
Q: Will insurance cover turbinoplasty and conchoplasty? A: Many health insurance plans cover these procedures if they are deemed medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
Q: How can I prepare for surgery? A: During your pre-operative consultation, we will provide all necessary instructions regarding medications, fasting, and other preparations required before surgery.
