In Office Turbinate Reductions
Los Angeles’ expert sinus surgeons at C/V ENT Surgical Group have performed innumerable in-office turbinate reductions for patients suffering from nasal congestion, severe allergies, recurrent sinus conditions including sneezing, congestion, headaches, sinusitis and even snoring and sleep apnea. For many patients the cause of this discomfort may be due to enlarged or inflamed turbinates.
Coblation
The Los Angeles ENT specialists at C/V ENT Surgical Group have years of experience performing in-office turbinate reduction under local/topical anesthesia for patients throughout Southern California. This minimally invasive in-office turbinate reduction procedure can be done either with a cold laser called Coblation or via a small shaver called submucous resection of the turbinates (SMR). The laser procedure only shrinks the lining or mucosa of the turbinates whereas the SMR technique reduces the bone and mucosa with more long-lasting and permanent results.
Turbinate Reductions Recovery
Patients who have our nose doctors perform in-office turbinate reduction report quick recovery in less than 24 to 48 hours from this typically painless procedure. They also show a marked improvement in the reduction of sinus pain, pressure, nasal congestion, sneezing, postnasal drip and various other similar symptoms. Again there is no packing or major discomfort when our patients have this procedure done in the office under local/topical anesthesia and return back to work the next day.
