Turbinates are small, curved structures inside the nose that help humidify and filter the air you breathe. When they become enlarged—often due to allergies, chronic inflammation, or anatomical factors—they can cause persistent nasal blockage, snoring, and breathing difficulties. At ENT New York, we provide comprehensive care for enlarged turbinates with treatments designed to restore clear nasal passages and comfortable breathing.
Enlarged turbinates, also known as turbinate hypertrophy, may contribute to chronic congestion even when other treatments seem ineffective. Dr. Vandana Kumra uses nasal endoscopy and other diagnostic tools to evaluate turbinate size and function. Based on your symptoms and anatomy, she may recommend medical therapy, allergy management, or a turbinate reduction procedure.
Dr. Kumra specializes in minimally invasive turbinate reduction techniques that preserve normal tissue while reducing obstruction. These in-office or outpatient procedures offer a quick recovery and long-term improvement in airflow and sinus drainage. If you’re living with chronic nasal congestion or nighttime breathing issues, ENT New York offers solutions that are safe, effective, and personalized to your needs.
