[Mediapine][AB Plastic Surgery] Concerned About Nasal Congestion After Nose Surgery: Is Functional Rhinoplasty Always the Answer?

Recently, people have come to prefer a nose shape that naturally harmonizes with the face, considering various facial elements such as their eyes, nose, mouth, and overall facial proportions.

Many people have undergone rhinoplasty to find the nose shape that suits them best and achieved satisfying results, but there are also many who complain of nasal congestion after nose surgery.

Nasal congestion after nose surgery makes smooth nasal breathing difficult, which can cause sleep disorders and sleep apnea, leading to inconvenience in daily life. If left untreated for a long time, it can cause aesthetic problems with the nose, such as a crooked nose or a hump nose.

Nasal congestion after nose surgery can occur when certain tissues inside the nose are stimulated during surgery, causing the septum to deviate and the nasal cavity to narrow. It can also be caused by surgery that fails to detect functional problems inside the nose during preoperative examination and focuses only on the external appearance of the nose. To prevent this kind of situation, thorough preoperative examination and a precise surgical plan are necessary.

For successful rhinoplasty, a 3D-CT scan before surgery is needed to analyze the complex internal structure of the nose, the condition of the tissues, the shape and size of the septal cartilage and bone, and whether there is nasal valve stenosis, from multiple angles, along with the issues in the external shape of the nose. Based on this analysis, it is important to establish a surgical plan that considers both the external appearance and functional issues of the nose, and to combine functional rhinoplasty when necessary. After accurately identifying the problems in the internal structure of the nose,

it is possible to prevent deformities over time and side effects such as nasal congestion by organizing the internal nasal lines and balancing the dorsal line. It is also important to have a surgeon with the skill to minimize damage to the tissues inside the nose and to perform delicate techniques so that other tissues are not deformed during surgery.

In particular, the nose has a very complex internal structure as well as an external one. Because the various tissues in the nose are connected to one another, anatomical understanding is essential. Based on an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to identify functional problems in the nose and perform delicate techniques that precisely refine the cartilage and bone while minimizing tissue damage.

Because the structure and characteristics of the nose differ for each patient, a customized design must be applied by comprehensively analyzing facial proportions, skin type, and nasal structure. Only by undergoing surgery with a rhinoplasty specialist who has anatomical knowledge, precise diagnosis, delicate technique, and the ability to design personalized procedures can satisfactory results be achieved without side effects.
