Turbinate Radiofrequency Complications - Turbinate Radiofrequency Risks - Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction Complications |
Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction complications and risks can be summarized as below:
- Thick nasal secretion, crusting, drying (usually disappears within a few weeks)
- If excessive mucosal erosion is present at the surgery, fragrant crusting can be seen for few weeks
- Nose bleeding (usually disappears within a few days after surgery)
- Turbinate tissue is normally only reduced with modern radiofrequency devices as you can see on the above videos. If the turbinate tissue is removed surgically, empty nasal syndrome may occur. Decrease in nasal function, drying in the nose, bleeding (atrophic rhinitis may occur in the future)

- Scar tissue may form between the turbinate and the septum
Intranasal Synechia - Intra-nasal Adhesion - Nasal adhesion - Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction Risks - Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction Complications |
During the turbinate radiofrequency procedure, excessive damage to the nasal mucosa or accompanying septoplasty may rarely result in adhesions between the septum and the turbinate. Particularly after the procedure silicone splint remains in the nose for at least 7 days, reducing the risk of adhesions.

In this case, which may lead to nasal obstruction, it is enough to cut the area of adhesion under local anesthesia and office conditions, and to place a splint of silicone on it for at least 1 week. Self-soluble nose pads in 3-5 days usually fall in the nose. Silicone nasal splints reduce the risk of intra-nasal adhesions when stay in the nasal cavity about 7-10 days.

Modern radiofrequency devices is lowering the mucosal damage risks thus related problems of adhesions, crusting, thick secretion, mucosal dryness ...etc.
