Empty Nose Syndrome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empty_nose_syndrome

In otolaryngologyempty nose syndrome (ENS) describes a nose that has been physiologically crippled by excessive surgical removal of turbinates in the nose (mainly the inferior turbinates) in a surgical procedure known as 'turbinectomy' or 'conchotomy'. It is therefore an iatrogenic condition that can and should be avoided.
