Patient Testimonials: Septoplasty with Turbinoplasty

Chronic nasal congestion, loud snoring, and disturbed sleep are among the most common reasons patients seek out an ENT specialist — and for many, the underlying cause is a deviated septum combined with enlarged turbinates. Below, two of our patients share their personal experience of undergoing septoplasty with turbinoplasty with Dr. Kumaresh Krishnamoorthy, from their first consultation through to full recovery. If you’re researching this combined procedure and want to know what real recovery looks like, these first-hand accounts should help.

Testimonial 1

Dr. Kumaresh Krishnamoorthy was the best choice for me. I am writing this review/testimonial after 3 months of my surgery and I have my life back now.

I was suffering from nose congestion for more than a year, and when I approached Dr. Kumaresh, he told me the best option was surgery (Coblator Assisted Turbinoplasty). I had visited a few other doctors before him.

The next best thing about the doctor is that he responded to all my emails. To be honest, I had written quite a few, both before and after surgery, to get my doubts cleared, but he was very patient and answered everything, including guidance on post-surgery care.

Before surgery, I had requested one thing — not to cover my nose with plaster afterward. He didn’t promise he could do it, but he did. He didn’t cover my nose after surgery and told me I hadn’t bled much.

My surgery and post-surgery recovery were a cakewalk, and now I am enjoying life to the fullest.

Thanks, Dr. Kumaresh Krishnamoorthy. You are the best!

Surgery: Septoplasty with Turbinoplasty

I still remember you were the third doctor I consulted, due to a severe throat infection. The previous doctors always advised removing my tonsils along with correcting the septum, since it was significantly deviated. I wasn’t in a position to decide whether to go ahead with both, or to keep trying to manage things with medication.

My wife somehow found your clinic’s address through the website. We checked your reviews and decided to come to you for a final consultation and surgery, since your expertise and knowledge were clearly evident — we found a lot of YouTube videos and online photos that you had made available to the public for free.

We finally went ahead and corrected my septum, and the result was fantastic. I never had throat pain again, and I sleep well at night now — my snoring has come down tremendously, which is a huge plus. Your hospital recommendation also saved us a significant amount, and the cost was very reasonable and affordable for us. My entire family is grateful to you for life. Once again, thank you for the right observation and the right treatment at the right time.

Why Patients Choose Combined Septoplasty and Turbinoplasty

Both testimonials highlight a common thread: symptoms that don’t respond to medication alone — chronic congestion, snoring, and disrupted sleep — often need a combined surgical correction addressing both the septum and the turbinates. Performing septoplasty with turbinoplasty together, using coblation-assisted techniques, typically means a shorter recovery, minimal bleeding, and lasting relief in a single procedure rather than two separate surgeries.

Recovery experiences shared here also reflect what most patients can realistically expect: minimal downtime, little to no nasal packing in suitable cases, and noticeable improvement in breathing and sleep quality within the first few months. Every patient’s anatomy is different, so the exact combination of procedures is always tailored after a detailed nasal examination.

If you’re experiencing similar symptoms and considering septoplasty with turbinoplasty, feel free to reach out for a consultation to discuss whether this combined approach is right for you.
