Septal Deviation Functional Rhinoplasty for a Natural, Easy-to-Breathe Nose

The nose plays an important aesthetic role, but it also has an important functional role: breathing. If breathing through the nose becomes uncomfortable, you may end up breathing through the mouth, which can create various inconveniences in daily life. In particular, people with a deviated septum may find it difficult to breathe through the nose, and the crooked nose may also look less pleasing.

If you have a deviated septum, functional rhinoplasty can help correct structural problems inside the nose while also providing aesthetic improvement. At Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, we design a nose line that is both easy to breathe through and natural-looking through functional rhinoplasty for septal deviation.

What Is a Deviated Septum?

A deviated septum refers to a condition in which the nasal septum inside the nose is bent, causing symptoms related to the nose or functional impairment. Our nose has a septum, the wall that divides the nostrils into two, and when this becomes bent, it can cause breathing discomfort.

In most cases, people have some degree of deviation, but when that deviation leads to pathological conditions such as nasal congestion, postnasal drip, or sleep disorders, it is called a deviated septum.

A deviated septum can be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities or pressure. The more severe the deviation, the more severe symptoms such as nasal congestion and postnasal drip can become. If you have the following symptoms, you may want to suspect a deviated septum.

· One side of the nose is often blocked

· Scabs form or nosebleeds occur frequently

· There is often a feeling that mucus is going down the back of the nose

· Phlegm often feels stuck in the throat

· Severe snoring

· No symptoms of sinusitis or rhinitis, but the nose is frequently blocked for no reason

· Nasal congestion becomes severe when lying down to sleep

People Who Need Functional Rhinoplasty

So far, we have looked at deviated septums. For these patients, functional rhinoplasty can correct the bent septum inside the nose while also providing aesthetic improvement. In addition to a deviated septum, if you are experiencing functional problems such as nasal valve stenosis or rhinitis, you can expect improvement in both the functional issues and the aesthetic appearance, resulting in a nose that is natural and easier to breathe through.

At Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, for those who need functional rhinoplasty for a deviated septum, the clinic director, a board-certified plastic surgery specialist, personally carries out a systematic process from internal nasal diagnosis to surgical planning, operation, and post-operative care. If you are one of the following, you may expect functional rhinoplasty to improve your nose so it is easier to breathe through and looks natural.

· If you want both treatment for nasal conditions and the effects of rhinoplasty

· If you have a deviated septum

· If you have symptoms such as nasal congestion or rhinitis

· If breathing becomes uncomfortable after rhinoplasty

· If the nasal bone is bent or fractured due to an accident or other cause

PROCESS for Functional Rhinoplasty for a Deviated Septum

At Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, for those with functional and aesthetic concerns due to a deviated septum and other issues, functional rhinoplasty is used to help improve both function and appearance naturally. In cases involving septal cartilage, the bent septum is straightened and the excess cartilage is removed and fixed to the anterior nasal spine, helping improve the internal septal deviation and design a nose line that harmonizes with your face.

The clinic strives to improve functional issues such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, and sinusitis, while also enhancing both appearance and function through customized rhinoplasty that suits each individual's face. Based on precise diagnostics such as 3D CT, the inside of the nose is analyzed to determine whether there is a nasal condition, and then a 1:1 customized surgical plan is created.

Thorough Post-Operative Care After Surgery

Surgery does not end when the operation is over. After surgery, it is necessary to carefully monitor the progress to see whether any side effects occur and whether the surgery is settling well. At Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic, patient progress is carefully followed even after surgery.

To reduce the risk of side effects after surgery and help patients recover, post-operative care is supported with various laser devices tailored to each surgery and area. Even after surgery, if you have any discomfort, the clinic strives to resolve it to the very end.

If you are looking for both improvement in nasal conditions such as a deviated septum and a more aesthetic nose, we hope you will consider Mary Plastic Surgery Clinic's functional rhinoplasty for septal deviation.
