Nasal Surgery Review: Make Sure You Understand It Clearly

Hello. This is OJIKO Hospital & Plus, which has spent only the past 16 years focusing on your beautiful and healthy nose. The content prepared this time is about a nasal surgery review that was carried out after making sure everything was clearly understood.

In general, people are highly interested in plastic surgery as a way to improve their image. Among the many types of plastic surgery, the nose is located at the center of the face and is one of the most three-dimensional areas, so even a small change to the nose can have a significant effect on the overall image. For that reason, it is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery.

Therefore, among those looking into nose surgery, many are troubled by noses that are too low, too high, humpy, crooked, drooping, or upturned, since these shapes draw attention on the face. Because of these concerns, they want the nose shape to be corrected so that it becomes straight and balanced.

However, the nose plays an important external role while also being a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell. Even when there is a functional problem with the nose, improvement may be possible through nose surgery. A representative symptom that can be improved through nose surgery is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. In the case of nasal congestion caused by rhinitis, it can cause significant inconvenience in daily life and may be accompanied by headaches, migraines, chronic fatigue, and reduced concentration, which is why interest in nasal surgery reviews is increasing.

What is rhinitis? It is a condition that more than 70% of adults in Korea have, and it causes nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Of these, allergic rhinitis accounts for 20%, while the remaining 80% is structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities. Structural rhinitis includes deviated septum, nasal valve stenosis, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. In the case of allergic rhinitis, because it appears due to specific substances or seasons, it is difficult to cure completely, and with steady medication and improved immunity, you can expect temporary symptom relief.

When structural rhinitis such as deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, or nasal valve stenosis occurs, a cure is possible through surgery, so you can look into nasal surgery reviews in greater detail. In the case of structural rhinitis, the symptoms of nasal congestion occur in common, though each condition is different. However, many people mistakenly think it is allergic rhinitis and leave the symptoms untreated. Because it is difficult to visually distinguish whether rhinitis is allergic or structural, it is essential to check the inside of the nose through equipment, receive an accurate diagnosis, and then proceed with the appropriate surgery. This can help prevent recurrence of symptoms.

At OJIKO Hospital & Plus, to ensure a safe and satisfying nasal surgery experience, various allergy tests, 3D-CT imaging, and internal endoscopy are performed before surgery to accurately check the condition and position of the nasal bones, whether cartilage is present, and the internal functional state. Based on this, a surgical plan tailored to each individual's symptoms is established and carried out.

Therefore, for those looking into nasal surgery reviews, it is important to refer to review images and find a nose shape similar to your own, but even if the nose shape is the same, the surgery is applied differently for each person, so an accurate assessment can only be made after checking the condition through equipment and consulting with the doctor. Since nose surgery is a procedure that must consider both internal and external factors, it is one of the more difficult surgeries among plastic procedures. For those looking into nasal surgery reviews, it may be helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have ample related experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether post-operative care is handled thoroughly before proceeding.

If you look into nasal surgery reviews, the surgery methods are divided into treatment for inferior turbinate hypertrophy, deviated septum, and nasal valve stenosis. In the case of inferior turbinate hypertrophy, a laser is used on the nasal mucosa to control the enlarged size of the inferior turbinate and correct it. For deviated septum, septoplasty is performed to straighten the crooked septum, and then the removed septal cartilage can be used to correct the shape and height of the nasal tip. In the case of nasal valve stenosis, correction is performed by widening the nasal valve area with spreader grafts, batten grafts, upper lateral cartilage spreader grafts, or suspension sutures according to the degree of stenosis and the individual type.

In this way, different conditions are corrected to improve nasal congestion and make airflow into the nose smoother. In some cases, symptoms occur on their own, but when they occur in combination, additional surgery or procedures are used for correction.

After nasal surgery, cosmetic nose surgery can also be performed if desired. On average, cosmetic nose surgery uses silicone for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip.

The autologous cartilage used for the nasal tip includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. The material can be selected according to the individual through preoperative testing before surgery.

For the silicone used in the nasal bridge, instead of using an existing mass-produced silicone as is, it is custom designed and used by considering various aspects such as the person’s overall image, as well as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge. This minimizes an artificial appearance and helps create a natural nasal bridge line that suits the individual.

As such, for those looking into nasal surgery reviews, one point to note is that while nasal surgery may be performed alone in some cases, functional nose surgery may also be performed together with cosmetic nose surgery. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a place with strong expertise. At OJIKO Hospital & Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol handles one-on-one dedicated care and personally manages the entire process, from consultation related to nasal surgery to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up visits, so you can receive a high level of medical service before and after the surgery.

Post-operative care includes not only a one-year free A/S warranty, but also a surgical responsibility guarantee system that prepares for all possible post-surgery issues such as pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the appearance. This allows for a more satisfying nasal surgery experience.
