1. What Can I Expect During The Turbinate Recovery Phase?
The turbinate recovery process is a gradual yet steady healing journey. Immediately after the procedure, you may experience nasal congestion, mild bleeding, and crusting, all of which are normal. These symptoms usually subside within a few days to a week. However, full healing of the nasal tissues may take a few weeks. With Dr. Vandana’s expert care at the ENT Head & Neck Institute in Burjeel Medical City (BMC), your recovery is closely monitored and tailored to your specific condition, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Dr. Vandana provides each patient with a personalized post-operative care plan that includes medication, cleaning techniques, and lifestyle guidelines. Her hands-on approach ensures that any signs of complications are addressed early. As an ENT Consultant — a title indicating higher specialization and experience compared to an ENT Specialist — Dr. Vandana’s oversight significantly improves recovery success.
3. How Should I Use Nasal Sprays After Surgery?
Dr. Vandana typically recommends saline or medicated nasal sprays to help reduce swelling, keep the nasal passages moist, and prevent crusting.

Patients are shown how to use these sprays effectively during consultations, and usage is adjusted based on your recovery progress during follow-up visits.
4. What Is The Recommended Follow-Up Schedule With Dr. Vandana?
Follow-up appointments are a key part of the recovery process. Dr. Vandana generally recommends an initial post-op visit within 5–7 days after surgery to check healing and remove any crusts or debris. Further appointments are scheduled at regular intervals based on individual needs. These visits allow Dr. Vandana to adjust medications, address any discomfort, and ensure that the healing is on track. Even if you are travelling from Dubai, the journey to consult her in Abu Dhabi is well worth the outcome and care you receive.
5. How Long Is The Healing Time After Turbinate Surgery?
The average healing time is about 4 to 6 weeks, although most patients experience major symptom relief within the first two weeks.

Dr. Vandana’s meticulous monitoring ensures a smoother and faster recovery experience, minimizing downtime and helping you return to normal activities with confidence.
