Nasal Allergy Problems

  The Most Powerful, Permanent Treatment For Your Enlarged Nasal Turbinates

Based on my careful observations over 30 years of turbinate surgery, there are three factors involving turbinates that must be corrected to achieve a really outstanding improvement in your nasal breathing:

  1. Thick, enlarged bone inside your turbinates that bows out toward your septum, hangs down too low against the floor of your nasal passage or extends too far back.  This is often a critical element blocking your nasal breathing, but obstructive bone can NOT be corrected by merely cooking the soft tissues of your turbinates with the laser, by sticking heated needles into your nose or by using pills and sprays.  Only turbinate surgery with exposure and removal of the obstructive turbinate bone will eliminate this factor causing nasal blockage.

  2. Excessive turbinate soft tissues, often containing enlarged bone, that hang down too low off the bottom edge of your turbinates and block your nasal breathing.  By actually removing this excessive turbinate tissue, I can achieve a permanent cure for this persistent problem -- unlike the temporary help you might get by cooking the soft tissues of your turbinates with the laser, sticking heated needles into your nose, or using pills and sprays.

  3. Excessive soft tissues at the back end of your turbinates which become enlarged, like big balloons, blocking your breathing way back inside your nose.  Remember that to really be able to breathe well through your nose, you must have an open nasal passage from the front all the way through to the back of your nose -- merely opening the front or middle of your nasal passage and leaving the back of your nasal passage still blocked will Not help you to achieve clear nasal breathing!  This is just plain common sense, isn't it?  Because you are an allergic patient, you are, like the hundreds of allergic patients I have already helped, particularly prone to having a very enlarged back end on your turbinates -- so enlarged that the back ends look like big polyps, benign growths of shiny, enlarged tissue that severely block your breathing.  The Real treatment?  Have me surgically remove these massively enlarged back ends of your turbinates and you'll never need to worry about them again.

So there it is: Turbinate Surgery -- the way you can achieve permanent relief after years of suffering from severe nasal blockage brought on by your allergies.  When I perform my expert turbinate surgery, as I have on over 1,000 turbinates, my patients are fully asleep under general anesthesia at the Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgery Center. Thus you will feel no pain at all while I am performing the surgery and I can safely work far back in the nose to achieve the complete, permanent, outstanding surgical result you always hoped for.

When I perform your turbinate surgery, rest assured that I will remove all three factors involved in nasal blockage due to enlarged, allergic turbinates: thick, obstructive bone inside the turbinate, the excessive tissue at the bottom edge of the turbinate, and the enlarged, polyp-like tissue at the back end of your turbinate.  While I perform your turbinate surgery, I utilize my years of turbinate surgery experience and excellent surgical judgment to ensure that only the harmful parts of the turbinates, the parts that block your nasal breathing are removed.  The rest of your turbinate is left in place, so it can continue to perform its function of warming and humidifying the air passing through your nose.  Thus you will have  new, redesigned, streamlined turbinates -- turbinates that will do only good things for your nose and no longer block your breathing.

At the same time, if your septum is crooked, I will make your septum straight -- not just the front part, but from the front all the way to the back and from the top to the bottom.  For more information, see Laser Nasal Surgery to Correct Nasal Blockage. 

 One More Important Final Point For Patients With Nasal Allergy Problems

In our detailed discussion above, I have explained to you that by utilizing my years of nasal surgery experience and my meticulous, thorough approach to surgery I can assure you of excellent nasal breathing in spite of your allergies.   Your allergic nasal blockage can be cured -- permanently -- by my special surgical techniques using the laser, developed over years of observation and  successful treatment.  

But what about your other symptoms of nasal allergy problems: excessive sneezing, itchy nose, watery nose, facial pressure? I can not make any guarantees that my nasal surgery will eliminate these allergic symptoms -- but over the years I have noticed a very important medical finding:  almost every one of my allergic patients tells me that the excessive sneezing, itchy nose, watery nose and facial pressure they suffered with before their nasal surgery are now gone or at least very significantly reduced after I performed nasal surgery to correct, successfully, their nasal blockage.  Why? Because the nasal turbinates are Prime Target Organs for your allergies!  After I significantly reduce the excessive size of your nasal turbinates by removing the obstructive, unnecessary tissue, there is simply less turbinate tissue left to react harmfully to the dust, pollen, mold, grass or anything else you breathe in through your nose that causes your allergic sneezing, itching, watering and facial pressure.  Makes sense, doesn't it?
