advice please?

Hello :)

I am getting septorhinoplasty soon. I broke my nose as a kid but they told me not to get surgery till i’m older. Well, i’m older now and I also want some cosmetic work done on the nose (hump removal). My surgeon wants to do septorhinoplasty but also with turbinate reduction. I expressed my concerns about ens but he said it only occurs with cutting or removing the turbinates. I want to decline the turbinate reduction. However I’m afraid that making my nose smaller will give me trouble with breathing. Currently, i honestly dont have that many issues with breathing or even congestion. My chart says that my turbinates are “obstructing with normal mucosa”. Will i regret taking out the turbinate reduction? I want to make an informed decision. Thank you all!
