Carefully Looking Into Functional Rhinoplasty Reviews

Hello. We are Ohji Plastic Surgery and N Plus, a clinic that has spent the past 16 years focusing only on your beautiful and healthy nose.

What we will introduce this time is information about functional rhinoplasty reviews.

These days, finding an image that suits you and bringing out your individuality can be said to be important. It can be said that when someone looks fierce or a little old-fashioned, they try to improve their features into a more likable image while also bringing out their individuality. As a result, interest in plastic surgery, which was difficult to achieve with makeup or photography techniques alone, is increasing, and among these, more people are looking for information about rhinoplasty, which is located at the center of our face.

However, if the shape of the nose is crooked or has a hump and does not achieve balance, it can become a complex, so although the initial approach is cosmetic, the nose is an organ responsible for breathing and for the sense of smell, so the functional aspect is also very important. Therefore, it is a good idea to look into both the cosmetic and functional aspects through functional rhinoplasty reviews.

What is functional rhinoplasty? It is a surgery that simultaneously performs functional nose surgery to correct various uncomfortable symptoms inside the nose and cosmetic rhinoplasty to supplement the parts of your nose shape that you are dissatisfied with.

When looking into functional rhinoplasty reviews, the symptom most commonly examined is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a symptom experienced by more than 70% of Korean adults, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis, which accounts for 20%, and structural rhinitis caused by abnormalities in the internal structure, which accounts for the remaining 80%. In the case of allergic rhinitis, a complete cure is difficult, so symptom improvement can be expected through consistent medication and improved immunity. In the case of structural rhinitis, improvement can be achieved through surgery. The most representative symptoms are a deviated septum, nasal valve stenosis, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy.

What is a deviated septum? It refers to the bending of the septum, which acts as the partition in the middle of the nose.

What is nasal valve stenosis? It refers to narrowing and stenosis of the space called the nasal valve inside the nose.

What is inferior turbinate hypertrophy? It refers to the slight enlargement of the tissue made of flesh inside the nose.

When nasal congestion caused by these conditions is mild, treatment may not be necessary, but as the symptoms become more severe, the likelihood of progressing to chronic rhinitis increases. If it progresses to chronic rhinitis, insufficient oxygen may be supplied to the brain due to nasal congestion, which can lead to headaches, migraines, reduced concentration, and loss of motivation. If the nose becomes severely blocked and breathing shifts to the mouth, complications such as dry mouth, sore throat, or pharyngitis may occur. Therefore, by accurately identifying the symptoms and performing the appropriate surgery, you can achieve satisfactory functional rhinoplasty reviews.

However, because it is not possible to determine with the naked eye whether nasal congestion is due to allergic rhinitis or structural rhinitis, diagnosis can be made through allergy testing and various medical devices. Therefore, while looking into functional rhinoplasty reviews, we recommend that you choose a place where the medical staff has extensive anatomical knowledge of the nose and abundant experience in the field, so that your nasal condition can be accurately checked before surgery.

At N Plus, in order to accurately check the condition of the nose and help ensure satisfactory functional rhinoplasty reviews, we perform preoperative 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopic imaging to accurately identify symptoms and various conditions such as the shape of bent nasal cartilage, skin tissue, and the degree of inflammation, then proceed with a surgical method tailored to the individual based on the data.

As for functional rhinoplasty methods, after correcting the symptoms of a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed, and silicone is used for the bridge while autologous cartilage is used for the tip to create a smooth nose line.

The materials used in functional rhinoplasty include silicone for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage, and surgery is performed using the material that suits the individual after preoperative examination.

In addition, at N Plus, when using an implant (silicone), we do not use a mass-produced implant as-is in order to minimize the artificial feeling after nose surgery. Instead, we carefully shape the implant ourselves by considering various aspects such as the individual's overall image and the width, length, and breadth of the nasal bridge before inserting it, thereby aiming for more satisfying functional rhinoplasty reviews.

Also, when looking into functional rhinoplasty reviews, aftercare is a very important part. At N Plus, CEO surgeon Yoon Hyun-cheol personally oversees one-on-one care and directly handles every step, from functional rhinoplasty consultation to surgical planning, implementation, and follow-up treatment. In addition to the free A/S system that guarantees one year after surgery, the clinic also operates a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for all possible situations such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. If you hold an N Plus membership card, you can receive aftercare benefits at any time.

That concludes the information we shared about N Plus functional rhinoplasty reviews. I hope this article was very helpful for those who are feeling stressed because of an unsatisfactory nose shape or nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Thank you.
