Rhinoplasty Review Considering Functional Aspects

Hello. We are Oziko Hospital & N Plus Clinic, dedicated only to thinking about your beautiful and healthy nose.

The content we will introduce this time is about rhinoplasty reviews that also take functional aspects into consideration.

Many people are increasingly interested in cosmetic surgery as a way to transform their appearance. However, in the case of indiscriminate plastic surgery, side effects can cause even more discomfort in daily life, so greater caution is needed. Among the various types of cosmetic procedures, many people prefer nose surgery because the nose is located at the center of the face and is one of the most three-dimensional features. Even if the shape of the nose is changed, it can have a significant effect on improving the overall appearance, so you can learn more about rhinoplasty reviews in detail.

Therefore, the types of people who look into rhinoplasty reviews include those with a nose that is too low, a bumpy dorsal hump, a drooping nose, an upturned nose, a crooked nose, or a bulbous nose, and they want it corrected into a straight and smooth line.

For those looking into rhinoplasty reviews like this, aesthetic considerations tend to come first. However, the nose is not only important for appearance but also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell. So while it is important to compare the images in rhinoplasty reviews with the condition of your own nose, it is equally important to confirm the exact condition of your nose through consultation and proceed with surgery only after checking whether there are functional issues as well. If rhinoplasty is performed with focus only on the aesthetic aspect while excluding these functional considerations, it can lead to reoperation due to postoperative functional problems.

When the internal functional issues of the nose are corrected through rhinoplasty, the most representative symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition found in more than 70% of adults in Korea. It is divided into allergic rhinitis, which accounts for 20%, and structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities, which accounts for 80%. Allergic rhinitis is difficult to cure completely, so you can see temporary improvement through immune enhancement or medication treatment. In contrast, structural rhinitis includes deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, and these can be expected to be cured through surgery. Therefore, when looking into rhinoplasty reviews, it can be helpful to additionally check the functional aspects carefully before proceeding with surgery.

At Oziko Hospital & N Plus Clinic, in order to ensure a safe and satisfying rhinoplasty experience, we accurately assess the current condition of the nose through 3D-CT scans, internal functional tests, internal endoscopy, and various allergy tests. Based on the extracted data, we determine the surgical method and materials so that each individual receives a procedure suited to them.

That is why, if you look closely at rhinoplasty reviews, the surgical method and materials differ depending on the condition of the individual’s nose. On average, procedures are divided into cases where both the bridge and tip are low, only the bridge is low, or only the tip is low.

For rhinoplasty in which both the bridge and tip are low, the bridge is corrected with an implant and the tip with autologous cartilage to improve the overall line.

For rhinoplasty in which only the bridge is low, an implant is inserted into the bridge, and the correction is designed so that the line from the bridge to the tip is not interrupted.

For rhinoplasty in which only the tip is low, the tip is corrected using autologous cartilage, and the overall line is designed so that it does not break at the bridge.

If you look at the before-and-after images in rhinoplasty reviews, the materials used in nose surgery are applied differently depending on the individual’s case. In general, the bridge can be corrected with silicone, and the tip with autologous cartilage. Autologous cartilage used for the tip includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. In the case of autologous cartilage, surgery is performed after selecting the material that is suitable for the individual through preoperative testing.

For silicone used in the bridge, rather than using commercially available silicone as is, it is carefully shaped by hand while considering the individual’s overall appearance, as well as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge. This minimizes an artificial look and allows the procedure to be designed with a natural line.

In addition, if there is a functional abnormality, functional surgery such as correction of a deviated septum, reduction of inferior turbinate hypertrophy, or treatment of nasal valve stenosis is performed first, followed by cosmetic rhinoplasty.

As such, in the case of rhinoplasty, various types require appropriate procedures to be applied in order to ensure safety and a much higher level of satisfaction. Therefore, if you are looking into rhinoplasty reviews, it can be helpful to proceed only after carefully checking whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant relevant experience and expertise, whether the necessary equipment is in place to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed.

At Oziko Hospital & N Plus Clinic, Chief Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles all processes related to rhinoplasty on a one-to-one basis, from consultation, surgical planning, and the procedure itself to treatment and follow-up visits, providing a high level of medical service from before surgery through aftercare.

Aftercare includes a free one-year warranty after surgery and a surgical responsibility guarantee system that covers any possible postoperative pain, inflammation, dissatisfaction with the shape, and other situations, helping make the rhinoplasty experience even more satisfying.

This concludes our introduction to rhinoplasty reviews that consider functional aspects as well, presented by Oziko Hospital & N Plus Clinic. We hope this article is of great help to those who are looking into nose surgery because they are concerned about the shape of their nose. Thank you.
