[JWJungwon Plastic Surgery] Septoplasty and Rhinitis Surgery Alongside Rhinoplasty

Hello,

We are JWJungwon Plastic Surgery,

delivering results.

The nose is located at the center of the face,

and depending on its height and shape,

it has a major impact on your impression.

�a0

For this reason, many people undergo rhinoplasty

in order to create a straight

and lifted nose line.

�a0

While some people consider rhinoplasty

for aesthetic reasons like this,

the number of people thinking about nose surgery

for functional reasons is also on the rise.

In fact, among those who visit plastic surgery clinics,

many complain of discomfort such as rhinitis,

chronic nasal congestion,

and the headaches and sleep disorders

that result from it.

Why do functional problems occur?

There can be several causes.

First, those who suffer from nasal congestion

may have heard the term

"deviated septum" at least once.

It is precisely this deviated septum

that causes problems such as nasal congestion,

rhinitis, and chronic headaches.

The septum is a wall-like structure

standing vertically in the middle,

dividing the space inside the nostrils into two parts.

It can be thought of as a pillar

that supports the bridge of the nose.

When this septum bends to either the left or right,

it is called a deviated septum.

If the nose on the narrower side,

caused by a bent septum,

is frequently blocked,

breathing becomes uncomfortable,

and this can lead to breathing mainly through the mouth,

which may cause various respiratory conditions.

In addition, people may experience sleep disorders

and chronic headaches.

When correcting a crooked nose,

these can be corrected at the same time.

Even if the nose does not appear crooked on the outside,

the septum may still be deviated,

so a precise examination should come first.

In addition to a deviated septum,

a disease that can cause functional problems in the nose

is "hypertrophic rhinitis"

(turbinate hypertrophy).

�a0

The inferior turbinate is located inside the nostrils

and plays a role in regulating temperature and humidity.

When this inferior turbinate becomes enlarged,

it can progress to hypertrophic rhinitis.

In such cases, symptoms can be improved by widening

the space inside the nose through inferior turbinate

submucosal resection or radiofrequency reduction.

Another part involved in nasal function,

besides the septum and inferior turbinate,

is the nasal valve.

The nasal valve is a small airway located

above the septum and is the narrowest passage

through which air flows in the nose.

When the upper part of the septum is bent,

the nasal valve becomes narrower,

causing nasal congestion.

Therefore, when correcting functional problems,

it is necessary to identify and correct abnormalities

of the nasal valve in addition to a deviated septum

and turbinate hypertrophy.

�a0

Accordingly, when performing crooked nose correction

for a bent nose,

surgery should be carried out with a clear understanding

of the nose's structure and consideration of the functional aspects

so that both functional improvement and

a beautiful nose line can be achieved at the same time.

Before surgery, JWJungwon Plastic Surgery conducts

an in-depth 3D-CT structural analysis to precisely examine

the degree of nasal deviation, the presence of a deviated septum,

turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve narrowing,

and performs safe and accurate surgery.

In addition, specialists who have performed rhinoplasty

for over 20 years correct not only aesthetics

but also the internal structure of the nose,

carrying out rhinoplasty for fundamental functional improvement.

Also, in the case of rhinitis surgery,

septoplasty, and nasal valve reconstruction,

you may be eligible for insurance benefits

depending on the insurance policy you have enrolled in.
