My first turbinate reduction surgery was done in 2009 by cutting using surgical scissors. The doctor performed the surgery twice in 3 days (he felt he did not reduce enough tissue in the first time), and I got a fever few days after that, which might lead to the nerves in the turbinate not recovering properly. To be honest, I don’t really know what technique did the ENT surgeon use for my second surgery (septoplasty and turbinate reduction), since I was put to sleep during the surgery and I did not ask him how he performed the operation. At that time, I did not know that there are more than one techniques to reduce turbinate other than cutting with a pair of scissors. But I think 90% he performed the operation by cutting using scissors. =9pt =9ptYes, I also think my anterior inferior turbinate has been reduced (probably 3 times, twice by the first surgeon, and once by the second surgeon), because during my first surgery, I was awake and I could feel that the surgeon did not stick the scissors deep enough to reach other part of the turbinate except the anterior portion. And this might alter the airflow dynamic to a different state I suspect. Thanks again for your link to the CT scans. Did you also get your anterior inferior turbinate resected? And I noticed that there is a video in the link you provided. The doctor in the video said that you are a good candidate for the nasal injection. I wonder if he is Dr. Das? And did you get injection from him? Because I am also thinking to get a PRP + Acell injection from him in the future. He seems to be a very knowledgeable doctor and cares about the patients. Sorry for so many follow up questions. Regards.
