Nasal meats, located in the lower, middle and upper 3 pieces on both sides of the nose, are the structures responsible for humidifying, heating and removing dust from the air. In some cases (allergic, infection, congenital) they may be larger than the required size and may prevent us from breathing comfortably. They can cause headaches and sinusitis.

While upper turbinate pathologies are rarely seen, lower and less frequently middle turbinate pathologies are encountered most frequently.

The most common pathology of the middle turbinate is an excessive enlargement of air-filled cells called concha bullosa. Surgical removal of a part of it is sufficient for the treatment.

The most common pathology of the inferior turbinate is turbinate hypertrophy. Often, nasal cartilage curvatures occur due to conditions such as allergy or pregnancy. There are many methods that can shrink the turbinates. Among these, applications involving the removal of the bone or tissue parts of the turbinate, whichever is more, and Radiofrequency applications are the most common and safe procedures. The important thing here is to avoid damaging the mucous membrane of the turbinate and to intervene sufficiently for the problem that causes nasal congestion.
