where are the turbinates in the nose
Tubinate reduction is usually indicated when enlargement obstructs other portions of the nose and airway causing disorders such as sleep apnea, congestion, post nasal drip and difficulty breathing. Turbinates are the portion of your nose that works to warm and moisten the air we breathe. The turbinates are filled with warm blood vessels which work to humidify the air, keeping cold air from reaching our lungs. Unfortunately these vessels can also become enlarged.
