Gangnam N Plus Rhinitis Surgery Review

Hello. For 15 years, OjiGo Gangnam N Plus has focused only on your healthy and beautiful nose.

What we are introducing this time is a review of rhinitis surgery at Gangnam N Plus.

As the weather has become quite cold, more and more people are complaining of nasal congestion. In winter, when the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, many people who feel that their symptoms have worsened are searching for reviews of rhinitis surgery, because nasal congestion is one of the representative symptoms of rhinitis. Nasal congestion interferes with the supply of oxygen we breathe, which can cause headaches, migraines, fatigue, lethargy, sneezing, and sinusitis. In some cases, the symptoms are temporary and pass like a cold, but if they continue for a long time, they can cause major inconvenience in daily life and lead to stress.

It is said that more than 70% of adults in Korea suffer from rhinitis, of which 20% is allergic rhinitis and 80% is structural rhinitis. Rhinitis can largely be divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities. As mentioned earlier, the representative symptom is nasal congestion. In the case of allergic rhinitis, medication and improved immunity may help relieve symptoms, while structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities can be improved through rhinitis surgery.

If you look at rhinitis surgery reviews, the symptoms that commonly require surgery include a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. A deviated septum occurs when the septal cartilage, which divides the nostrils into two, is bent and obstructs the flow of air entering through the nose. Inferior turbinate hypertrophy also obstructs airflow when the inferior turbinates, the soft tissue on both inner walls of the nose, become enlarged. Lastly, nasal valve stenosis refers to the roof-like space at the upper part of the internal septum; when this space narrows and stenosis occurs, it also causes nasal congestion.

Because rhinitis surgery methods differ depending on the cause, it is important to identify the exact cause before proceeding and to carry out the surgery using the method suited to that cause. However, in the case of rhinitis, because nasal congestion alone does not allow you to determine with the naked eye whether it is allergic rhinitis or structural rhinitis, it is important to identify the exact cause through various diagnostic tools before proceeding with surgery.

The surgical method for rhinitis varies depending on the symptoms. In cases of rhinitis due to inferior turbinate hypertrophy, laser surgery to adjust the size of the inferior turbinates and rhinoplasty are needed. In cases of a deviated septum, the deviated septum must first be corrected, and then rhinoplasty is performed. For nasal valve stenosis, there are spreader grafts, butterfly grafts, superior autospreader grafts, and suspension sutures, and surgery is performed using one of these four methods depending on the degree of stenosis.

In addition, during surgery for a deviated septum, part of the bent septal cartilage is removed. At this time, the septal cartilage obtained through minimal resection can be used as material to shape the tip of the nose during rhinoplasty. Septal cartilage is safer than artificial implants and can create a more natural-looking nasal tip, so if you are planning rhinoplasty, you can make good use of this septal cartilage to improve rhinitis and perform aesthetic rhinoplasty in one operation, creating a beautiful nasal line at the same time.

At Gangnam N Plus, in order to identify the exact cause when performing rhinitis surgery, we carry out various allergy tests, internal endoscopic imaging, and 3D CT scans before surgery, and proceed only with the surgical method suited to each individual, aiming for satisfying rhinitis surgery reviews.

Although our nose may seem simple because the cosmetic aspect is the first thing that comes to mind, it is a much more complex organ that is responsible for breathing and smell in our body. Therefore, when performing rhinitis surgery, it is important to proceed carefully at a place where the medical team has extensive anatomical knowledge of the nose and can accurately identify the unique characteristics of each person's nose based on skilled experience, so that the results of rhinitis surgery can be even more satisfying.
