I have seen three ENT surgeons for consultations and non have explained things as clearly as you have. The last surgeon was in the Los Angeles southbay, triple board certified and with my curved caudel septal diviation and large nasal turbinates would not offer me any assurances that the success rate would be worth the surgery. While my deviated septum contributes to less airflow on my right nostril, the nasal turbinate cycle, the alternating swelling of the nasal turbinates, obviously is more severe on the deviated side.<br /><br />At this point I have been pitched several solutions including Coblation turbinate reduction in office $1,500), the common L strut approach septoplasty ($5,000), septorhinoplasty with caudel septal replacement ($9,000-$15,000). The only common response from doctors was from a high success rate using Coblation Turbinate Reduction. Only one doctor said I would see a 30% improvement in air flow if I got the Coblation turbinate reduction. I'm not going under the knife if the success rate is low. That's money and cartilage down the drain. I believe I'm going to get the turbinate reduction as I am not satisfied with the low success rate. So far 50% success rate on Coblation turbinate reduction and its lower cost seems more reasonable. What complications might a raise from Coblation turbinate reduction? How might I avoid those complications?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621317379873499702.post-77166187455468527722014-03-05T16:15:30.053-05:002014-03-05T16:15:30.053-05:00I love your articles, always informative and pract...I love your articles, always informative and practical. I'd like that share that I learned from a nurse that long-term use of topical steroids does have negative impacts. Long term use of topical steroids that can lead to skin atrophy & fragility. Breathing easy is important but so is skin integrity. People should be aware of the side effects so they can make an informed decision. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621317379873499702.post-75361989575697694472012-05-31T19:55:32.847-04:002012-05-31T19:55:32.847-04:00Steroid and anti-histamine nasal sprays are safe t...Steroid and anti-histamine nasal sprays are safe to use daily for prolonged periods of time.<br /><br />Decongestant nasal sprays, however, should never be used more than 3-4 days consecutively, otherwise risk "addiction". <br /><br />Read more at:<br />http://www.fauquierent.net/afrin.htmFauquier ENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011731559130483399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621317379873499702.post-74530694938984264892012-05-30T05:14:38.142-04:002012-05-30T05:14:38.142-04:00And speaking of the last paragraph - isn't it ...And speaking of the last paragraph - isn't it bad in general to use such sprays daily?Zahnärzte Düsseldorfhttp://www.dental-relax.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8621317379873499702.post-17022360925471803042011-12-09T23:38:12.591-05:002011-12-09T23:38:12.591-05:00Well this will definitely be a more common this se...Well this will definitely be a more common this season since Winter's coming, if not it'd already started really.
