Turbinoplasty
My mother has been advised for Septoplasty and Turbinoplasty. I've heard that Turbinoplasty can cause empty nose syndrome and I'm scared to go ahead with the surgery. Is it really necessary to do the surgery? My mother has snoring issues and has allergy. During winters, it gets very bad for her where she can't breathe through the nose. Kindly advise.
