If you are going to have any nasal surgery, do not let them cut up any of you turbinates! Specify this to them when you see them. If you do have a truly deviated septum, that is causing problems then you should remember an incident that caused trauma to the septum. Also, if the septum is causing problems then you should have one nostril blocked at all times. If the blockage switches back and forth, from left to right, then it is probably enlarged turbinates causing the problem. If it's the turbs, do not let them cut any percentage of them out! Do nasal irrigations, and allergy shots before you consider any surgery. If you do surgery only do radio frequency or laser surgery that only reduces some of the tissue.
