Concha bullosa resection is a minimally-invasive procedure designed to reduce concha bullosa, which are enlarged conchae that can cause aesthetic and functional problems. During concha bullosa resection, the conchae are reduced in size to improve breathing, hearing, and overall appearance. Are you experiencing persistent nasal congestion that affects your breathing and overall comfort? The Concha Bullosa Reduction Procedure at NJ ENT offers a personalized solution to address nasal obstruction caused by enlarged nasal turbinates, known as concha bullosa.

Concha Bullosa Symptoms

Concha bullosa can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty hearing and breathing, snoring, sleep apnea, and facial asymmetry. Patients may also experience discomfort in the conchal area due to pressure from the enlarged conchae. In extreme cases, concha bullosa can obstruct the eustachian tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat. If left untreated, concha bullosa can lead to more serious health problems such as chronic sinusitis or infections.

Benefits of Concha Bullosa Resection

The benefits of concha bullosa resection include improved hearing, reduced snoring and sleep apnea symptoms, improved air flow through the nose and sinuses, better facial symmetry, and improved overall appearance. It is a safe procedure with minimal risks and a short recovery time. The results are long-lasting, providing our patients with relief from concha bullosa for years to come.

Concha Bullosa Resection Procedure

The concha bullosa resection procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or intravenous sedation. An incision is made in the conchal area to access the conchae and reduce their size. Special instruments may be used to trim, reshape, or remove tissue as necessary for a more aesthetically pleasing result. The whole procedure takes less than an hour and carries minimal risks of complications such as infection or nerve injury.

Recovery

Patients who undergo concha bullosa resection can expect a short recovery period, with most returning to normal activities within a few days after surgery. Congestion and pressure are common side effects that dissipate over a few days to weeks after the procedure; however, these are typically mild and not cause for concern. Patients may experience some discomfort in the cheek area as they heal; however, this can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

I had a septoplasty and turbinectomy with Dr. Gregory Smith in December of 2025. After years of being too terrified to have the procedure, Dr. Smith was the first and only provider to make me feel calm and confident about my decision to pursue surgery. He was extremely thorough in the process and took every precaution necessary. Dr. Smith always made me feel involved throughout the process and always explained every step along the way, including the surgical procedure itself and post-op care. Even with my surgery being a few days before the holidays, Dr. Smith still gave me his contact information in case I needed anything while healing. I cannot thank Dr. Smith enough for everything he did for me, my life is changed forever! There’s no one else I’d trust more, and I definitely recommend Dr. Smith for all your ENT needs!

I suffered a serious sinusitis until I met Dr Smith. After consultation, it was decided that extracting the polyps would be a better option. I was very impressed with the outcome of the procedure. He’s also very proactive about the follow ups making sure that the results remain positive.

Dr.Reddy is a phenomenal ENT, I have had a sinus surgery from him to remove maxillary sinus polyps and may be needing another procedure for my sphenoid sinuses and would absolutely have him perform that procedure as well without hesitation. I have a complex medical history and Dr.Reddy was highly recommended by my other specialist.

I've been seeing Dr.Reddy, ENT specialist and I'm very pleased with his approach. I have a deviated septum and he has managed to control my symptoms with a nasal spray rather than surgery. He's very compassionate and very easy to converse with. I actually enjoy my appointments because of his kindness and concern for me as a patient and a person.

I recently had a septoplasty with Dr. Samir Undavia and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and results. From the first consultation, he was patient, thorough, and explained everything clearly so I felt confident going into surgery. The procedure and recovery were much easier than I expected, and I credit that to his skill and expertise. He and his team were attentive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I’m breathing so much better now and am so grateful for his excellent care. Highly recommend Dr. Undavia!

The office of Dr. Reddy is organized and all members of team are compassionate and welcoming to the practice. I had septoplasty surgery last year and I have to say that care was given to thoroughly explain the procedure and recovery. I am now quite fully recovered and enjoy the feeling of good breathing and lack of constant nasal issues. I highly recommend this practice, esp my doctor, Dr. Reddy to everyone, and have done so. Thank you for your care.

Dr. Undavia was wonderful! I had put off a septoplasty for years because of concerns about the procedure and recovery, but Dr. Undavia was excellent, talked me through each step of the process, and the recovery was a breeze.

I can’t believe how much better I feel since having the procedure with Dr. Undavia. I had been dealing with a major septal issue for over 20 years and started seeing Dr. Undavia almost 2 years ago. His bedside manner is second to none and truly cares about his patient’s well being. He didn’t rush into recommending an operation as we tried to treat my issue over time with a variety of non surgical methods first. When it was time to actually have my procedure last week, I was anxious and even up to the day of surgery was doubtful that what he was going to do would make a huge difference. Not only could I breathe clearly for the first time in 2 decades, I’m still in the days of recovery. It’s quite incredible and I’m hopeful about this part of my health for the first time ever. I have driven over an hour each way for my visits with Dr U and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a specialist. Even the staff at the hospital, unsolicited, echoed the feedback that he was the best.

After having surgery for a deviated septum I had a large septal perforation as well as problems with mucus in my throat. After extensively reading about my condition I was fortunate to find Dr. Undavia. I was impressed that he worked with Dr. Russell Kridel and confident he could help me. I had seen several doctors who were not willing to. Nearly all the tissue and cartilage was gone from my nose which had to be completely reconstructed by taking skin from my ear and scalp. Dr. Undavia is compassionate and reassuring. He has provided me with excellent care. I hold him in the highest esteem.
