“Some people are having more extensive removal than the amount of disease would warrant,” Slavit said. “Maybe we need to better evaluate who needs to have turbinates removed and who could get by with less aggressive surgery.”

Dr. Wellington Tichenor’s explanation of empty nose syndrome
“Too many surgeons today believe they can indiscriminately remove large amounts of turbinate tissue…” From Dr. Tichenor’s Introduction to Having nasal Surgery? Don’t You Become an Empty Nose Victim, book by Chris Martin..
Can they feel well who treated by Dr. Steven .plz reply
Is there is any treatment to regenerate turbinate or any treatment available to overcome problem after turbinectomy.if treatment available plz tell i am very tired of my life
Is there is any treatment to regenerate turbinate or any treatment available to overcome problem after turbinectomy
There is currently no treatment to regenerate turbinate tissue. Dr. Steven Houser in Cleveland, Ohio can rebuild turbinates in some ENS patients.
Can empty nose symdrone cause almost constant post nasal drip?
Yes, there is one condition, a form of rhinitis, that can be caused by Empty Nose Syndrome. I think it is referred to as allergic rhinitis. I had it along with ENS. I was sent to an allergist who tested me for all known allergens. I tested negative for all of them. Yet I had that type of rhinitis after my nose was butchered.
Thank you for the ideas. I wish you wellness.
my solution :
(my english is not very good so..)
I had a nose operation a few years ago that didn’t work out..;
Now I have difficulties to breath especially when I’m laying down.
My nights had become a nightmare.
Now I place against my nose a wet(not too wet, let’s say humide) handerchief or à bath glove (thin) that I fix to my face with a chain of elastiques (rubberbands) tied together and attached to my ears ( not very attractive but whatever…)
The air that arrives in my nose becomes humid and warm. There is less air coming in at once.
And I can sleep at last.
I have to wet the glove once in the night. I change it every day.
During the day time I always take a scarve with me in case of dry air ( airconditionning or in winter )through which I breath.
I hope this will help you
