Coblation Turbinate Reduction: A Patient Perspective

[bingbang7779]

good !!! I've ENS empty nose syndrome

[richardvergara]

Why does anyone get a coblation turbinate reduction surgery???

[simpsonsgotobrazil]

how much does a surgery like that costs in the usa? any idea?

[fauquierent]

@simpsonsgotobrazil It is covered by insurance...

[kingleonardo]

@simpsonsgotobrazil i did mine in singapore for 800 sgd, that's approx us$550. i was covered by insurance. the surgery vastly improved my rhinoconjunc allergic symptoms. my surgery was more complicated - i had to sit on an operating table. plus, it was painful because i didnt have a lot of anaesthesia (part of insurance policy). i had bleeding, crusting and blood clots in my nose for 3 weeks. get sodium bicarbonate to mix with salt water to rinse the inside of your nose (discomforting).

I had turbinate reduction surgery under general anesthesia 4 months ago. There has been little, if any, improvement in my breathing. Maybe the doctor was too conservative??? I'm disappointed in the results.

[SupportAlexJones]

I'm getting my tubes removed today yay!!!!! i'm so happy drug me the fuck up and lets get it on !!!!!!!!

[thugz00]

I had this procedure done this morning. To say there is "no pain" is a bit of a fabrication. There was a bit of a sting with the numbing injection, but really no worse than what you feel when you get an injection at the dentist. And I also felt a little pain during the actual procedure. But it was VERY brief and any pain that I did feel was manageable. Obviously, everyone's experience will be different though.

[fefe45ful]

that look nasty

[jumboman232]

painless? right...

[MiniverJD]

I had the procedure done. The doctor puts cocaine on your turbinates to numb them. You don't feel anything.

[fauquierent]

We use lidocaine to numb. Not cocaine.

[Dallishar]

@MiniverJD LMFAO are you that stupid

[hacker13sacker]

really...cocaine

[yanirawr]

@MiniverJD u mean lidocaine for numing, codeine as a drug, but cocaine is a nono lol

[atgn70]

I just had my septoplasty and coblation turbinate reduction yesterday..I was put out because of the septoplasty....I have to be honest,,I am experiencing nowhere near the pain that I thought I would..! Very impressed..I am bleeding ,but I have my gauze on...

[zentoko]

@atgn70 Haha, I love the little gauze mustaches (they're so fashinonable ;D ). I had my septoplasty/turbinate reduction on Dec. 21 and like you said, not as much pain as I thought.

[Griwhoolda]

[8UFC8]

very young doctor

[drpaulnassif]

Interesting production

[VickAdam27]

I had this done with a septoplasty and I was completely out for the procedure. Recovery was painful, but the results are amazing.

[fauquierent]

If you had just the turbinate reduction alone done, most people do not complain of pain. Only sometimes, a few patients would take just tylenol.

[Metalcaesar]

Ermmm how long did you take to recover ??? i'm about to do this surgery soon..

[aggernodi]

I went back to work right after the procedure. Did not even need to take some tylenol. Just a mild burning/pressure pain, but not enough discomfort to take even tylenol for. Had to use salt-water spray for a few weeks to keep the crusting and scabbing down which basically disappeared after 3 weeks.

[aggernodi]

I had this done like 3 months ago and I have breathed great through my nose ever since!

[bummercucumber]

Interesting.

[listenupgirls]

Thank you for this video. We are hoping this is an alternative for my daughter who has enlarged tonsils.
