How might rhinoplasty help my nose operate better?

Rhinoplasty is a procedure used to improve the appearance of the nose. When the nasal septum is deviated, a septoplasty can help to enhance airflow through the nose. When the inferior turbinates get big and restrict airflow, turbinate surgery is performed. Spreader grafts are placed in the nose to prevent the upper lateral cartilages from restricting airflow, which is used to treat valve collapse and vestibular stenosis. A cosmetic rhinoplasty and a functional breathing nose surgery can both be done at the same time.

How can I tell if I require a septoplasty?

Only patients with symptomatic airflow restriction in the back of the nose should have a septoplasty. To make the medical diagnosis of functional airway blockage and a deviated nasal septum, a complete internal examination of the nose will be performed. A medical requirement must be established before a septoplasty can be performed.
