Turbinate Reduction - Enlarged inferior turbinates are often the cause of chronic nasal congestion. Even after the underlying problem is addressed, such as chronic infection or allergy, the enlargement may remain. Below is a depiction of the new plasma generator wand. This instrument creates a high energy plasma cloud at its tip and can be used to reduce the size of the inferior turbinate. The Somnus radio-frequency generator, and direct removal are other ways to reduce the turbinate. Different situations call for different methods.
