Turbinoplasty
There are three turbinates in each nasal passage. Each one protrudes from the sidewall of the nose. Turbinates are shaped like a scroll, and act to warm, humidify and filter air before it passes on to your throat. Throughout the day, the turbinates periodically change size in a pattern known as the nasal cycle. Turbinoplasty is the operation performed to reduce the size of the turbinate. Usually, only the inferior turbinates need correction.
