soko, I initially had about 30% of my turbinates removed. But I suspect that other tissues were removed and that some degree of atrophy also occurred.

I 've had a total of 1 alloderm implant(in each turbinate) and 6 really small cymetra injections. They have helped me more than I could have ever hoped for. I use to suffer so much before, it was unbelievable. Now things have become much more neutral and I really think I just need a little bit of spontaneous healing in order to be completly better. The augmentations help more than any other thing available at the time. It is quite a smart investment as far as your quality of life, and functioning.
