Functional Rhinoplasty Review at a Top Gangnam Nose Surgery Clinic

Hello. We are A+ Plus, a top Gangnam nose surgery clinic that thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

This time, we prepared content about functional rhinoplasty reviews.

Many people consider their first impression to be important. In fact, appearance should not be a major factor in judging a person, but since visuals account for a large part of impression, they can have a strong influence. As a result, interest in cosmetic procedures for image improvement is on the rise. Among these, the nose is located at the center of the face, so if you are unhappy with the shape of your nose or have a complex because it gives off a strong or unsophisticated impression, you may want to look into a top Gangnam nose surgery clinic in more detail.

However, the nose is positioned at the center of the facial features and is a three-dimensional area, so it plays a major aesthetic role while also serving as the organ responsible for breathing and smelling. Therefore, surgery should be performed only after accurately checking the internal function of the nose to prevent revision surgery caused by functional problems after surgery. Nose surgery that corrects these functional issues together is called functional rhinoplasty.

That is why people looking into rhinoplasty often want improvement when the nose appears low, too high, bumpy with a hump, upturned, crooked, drooping, or otherwise does not look like the straight, balanced shape generally considered ideal. However, because it is important to approach the nose from both an aesthetic and functional standpoint, referring to functional aspects along with functional rhinoplasty reviews can help with your decision.

If you look at functional rhinoplasty reviews, the most representative symptom for which functional rhinoplasty is possible is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a common condition that more than 70% of Korean adults have. Allergic rhinitis accounts for 20%, while structural rhinitis caused by abnormalities in the internal structure accounts for 80%. Allergic rhinitis occurs due to specific substances or seasons, so a complete cure is difficult; however, symptom relief may be temporarily achieved through improved immunity and medication. On the other hand, structural rhinitis is caused by a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, or nasal valve stenosis, and each condition can be treated surgically with the expectation of a cure. Because it can be performed at the same time as cosmetic rhinoplasty, the results can be even more satisfying. Therefore, it is worthwhile to learn more through functional rhinoplasty reviews.

Cases of structural rhinitis due to abnormalities in the internal structure that can be treated with functional rhinoplasty include deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. A deviated septum means the septum, which acts as the divider in the middle of the nose, is bent; inferior turbinate hypertrophy means the inferior turbinate tissue inside the nose has enlarged; and nasal valve stenosis means the nasal valve, which acts as the roof of the nose, has narrowed and become stenotic. All of these interfere with airflow into the nose and cause nasal congestion. Because the method used differs depending on each person’s condition, choosing a clinic that provides customized surgery through an accurate diagnosis will lead to more satisfying functional rhinoplasty reviews.

In the case of functional rhinoplasty, surgery may not be necessary if nasal congestion is mild. However, if symptoms are left untreated and worsen, many cases progress to chronic rhinitis. Therefore, even if symptoms are mild, we recommend having them checked to confirm your current condition. If it develops into chronic rhinitis, insufficient oxygen supply to the brain due to nasal congestion can cause complications such as headaches, migraines, reduced concentration, dry mouth due to mouth breathing, or sore throat. That is why an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate surgery must be performed. After carefully looking into a top Gangnam nose surgery clinic, proceeding with surgery can be helpful.

In addition, since nasal congestion caused by rhinitis cannot be visually diagnosed as either allergic rhinitis or structural rhinitis, various devices are used to accurately identify the condition inside the nose. Therefore, along with functional rhinoplasty reviews, you should check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have sufficient experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is reliably guaranteed. Doing so can help ensure a safer and more satisfying functional rhinoplasty experience.

At A+ Plus, a top Gangnam nose surgery clinic, we accurately assess the current condition of the nose through 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and tests of internal nasal function before surgery. Based on the collected data, we establish a plan and perform customized surgery tailored to each individual so that the procedure can proceed safely and satisfyingly.

In typical rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose is corrected with silicone and the tip is corrected with autologous cartilage. If functional rhinoplasty is required due to functional issues, the surgical method and treatment are applied according to the symptoms of deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, or nasal valve stenosis. After correcting the functional problem, cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed.

If you look at functional rhinoplasty reviews, functional nasal surgery and cosmetic rhinoplasty are performed at the same time. In cosmetic rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose is corrected with silicone and the tip with autologous cartilage. The autologous cartilage used includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. Through preoperative testing, the most suitable materials are selected based on the condition of each person’s nose.

In the case of implants used for the nasal bridge, commercially made implants are not used as-is in order to minimize an artificial look after rhinoplasty. Instead, they are carefully hand-shaped by considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall image, as well as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, which can lead to a more satisfying functional rhinoplasty experience.

At A+ Plus, a top Gangnam nose surgery clinic, Director Yun Hyun-cheol personally handles all processes one-on-one—from consultation regarding functional rhinoplasty, to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up care—so you can receive high-level medical services from before surgery through recovery.

Postoperative care is also supported by a free after-service system guaranteed for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for any possible postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the outcome. This makes for an even safer and more satisfying functional rhinoplasty experience.
