Turbinoplasty in Cyprus

Effective Treatment for Nasal Obstruction

Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of the nasal turbinates, which often become enlarged and block airflow. 

This condition, known as turbinate hypertrophy, can cause long-term nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, snoring, and even sleep disturbances. 

By carefully reshaping or reducing the turbinates, the procedure restores clear breathing while maintaining their essential function of filtering and humidifying the air we breathe.

When is Turbinoplasty Needed?

Turbinoplasty is typically recommended for patients with persistent nasal congestion that does not respond to sprays or allergy treatments. 

Common reasons include chronic breathing difficulties, sleep problems linked to snoring or sleep apnoea, and frequent sinus infections caused by blocked nasal passages.

Turbinoplasty in Cyprus – Frequently Asked Questions

Advanced nasal surgery in Cyprus to treat enlarged turbinates, relieve chronic congestion, and restore natural breathing.

Turbinoplasty is recommended when the nasal turbinates are enlarged (turbinate hypertrophy), causing chronic congestion, difficulty breathing, snoring, or recurrent sinus infections that do not improve with medication.

Turbinoplasty reduces the size of the turbinates, while Septoplasty corrects a deviated septum. 

In some cases, both procedures are performed together to fully restore clear nasal airflow.

The procedure is done under local or general anaesthesia, so patients feel no pain during surgery. Mild discomfort, congestion, or swelling may occur in the first few days, but recovery is generally well-tolerated.

 

Most patients return home the same day. Recovery takes about 1–2 weeks, with noticeable breathing improvement within days. 

Full healing and long-term results continue to improve over several weeks.

Turbinoplasty provides long-lasting relief from nasal obstruction, reduces snoring and sleep disturbances, and lowers the risk of recurrent sinus infections. 

Patients typically enjoy significant improvements in breathing and quality of life.
