Benefits Of Breatheplasty™ Vs Turbinate Reduction
Dr. Arjuna Kuperan, the founder of Houston Advanced Nose and Sinus, is a board-certified Otolaryngologist (ENT) and award-winning Rhinologist. As Dr. Kuperan has been performing nose and sinus surgeries for years, his skill and experience have evolved. Turbinate reduction surgery is a fairly common procedure that all ENT surgeons learn to perform. Dr. Kuperan has optimized his surgical technique to go beyond traditional turbinate reduction—he developed Breatheplasty to give patients with nasal obstruction better surgical outcomes.
What is Turbinate Reduction?
Turbinate reduction surgery is a procedure aimed at reducing the size of the turbinates, which are bony structures inside the nose covered by soft tissue. These turbinates can become enlarged due to chronic inflammation, allergies, or other conditions, leading to nasal congestion and breathing difficulties. The surgery is typically performed when non-surgical treatments, such as medications or nasal sprays, fail to provide adequate relief.
What Makes Breatheplasty Different from Turbinate Reduction Surgery?
Breatheplasty is Dr. Kuperan’s trademarked procedure that offers more precise, accurate treatment with better outcomes, as compared to traditional turbinate surgery. Turbinate reduction surgery sometimes results in side effects like nasal dryness or recurrence of nasal obstruction. This is because surgeons typically remove the soft tissue around the turbinate. Dr. Kuperan focuses on removing the bony component of the turbinate in order to preserve the delicate soft tissue. He uses specialized surgical instruments visualization tools to do this precisely without using aggressive tools that shave or debride the tissue.
