Turbinoplasty reshapes the inferior turbinates inside the nose, normally by removing bone beneath the lining, to improve airflow while keeping the lining intact.

Changi General Hospital says that inferior turbinoplasty (submucous resection) lifts the turbinate lining and takes away the bone beneath, and keeping the surface lining helps the nose go on warming and moistening air.

It is normally done under general anaesthetic and commonly alongside septoplasty.

Changi General Hospital points out that turbinoplasty gives more immediate improvement than radiofrequency reduction but carries a higher bleeding risk, and packing may be required for one or two days.

Expect congestion and crusting for a couple of weeks, helped by saline rinses and follow-up cleaning.

Flying home: cabin pressure changes can cause pain or trouble after ear, nose or sinus surgery, so the ENT surgeon checks you are fit to fly at the review appointment.

A Gurgaon quote for turbinoplasty is normally made up of these items:

• Pre-operative tests: blood work, imaging and an anaesthetic assessment.
• Theatre and anaesthesia charges: mostly set by time in the operating room.
• Consultant fees: which differ from one hospital to the next.
• Type of operation: open, keyhole or robotic where there is a choice.
• Technique: submucous resection or other.
• Anaesthesia: normally general.
• Combined surgery: including septoplasty.
• Packing and review: after surgery.

Ask the Gurgaon hospital whether the quote includes the anaesthetist, the hearing or pathology tests and the post-operative clinic appointments.
