In the case of rhinoplasty, changing the shape of the nose helps improve the overall image. The reason is that the nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional feature, so if its shape deviates even slightly from what a person considers ideal, the balance of the entire facial image can appear disrupted. On the other hand, if the nose has a straight and well-balanced shape, the features can appear more harmonious, creating an image that is satisfying to oneself or favorable to others. For this reason, people who are concerned about the shape of their nose often seek a wide range of information about rhinoplasty.

As described above, most people looking into rhinoplasty approach it primarily from an aesthetic standpoint. The shape of the nose can be categorized as too low, having a hump, being crooked, upturned, drooping, or having a bulbous shape.

However, our nose also plays a major role in appearance, while at the same time serving as a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell. If these internal functional aspects of the nose are not sufficiently considered during rhinoplasty, postoperative functional problems may lead to revision surgery. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly check the functional aspects of the nose before proceeding, and you can also learn about functional rhinoplasty reviews that discuss ways to improve these functional issues.

As mentioned above, among those looking into functional rhinoplasty reviews, many are considering rhinoplasty because of nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a common condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea and can be divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, medication or strengthening the immune system should be the priority, and because it appears due to specific substances or environments, it is difficult to consider it completely curable. In contrast, structural rhinitis can be cured through surgery,

For structural rhinitis, the surgical method and materials vary depending on the cause. Causes include a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and cases in which these symptoms appear in combination. Because these conditions commonly obstruct the flow of air entering through the nose and cause nasal congestion, it is difficult to determine the cause based on symptoms alone. It is therefore important to conduct surgery only after accurately diagnosing both the external and internal parts of the nose through medical equipment.

Also, if nasal congestion occurs due to structural rhinitis, treatment may not be necessary when the symptoms are mild. However, if left untreated, it can develop into chronic rhinitis, and because nasal blockage can reduce oxygen supply to the brain, it may cause headaches, migraines, decreased concentration, and loss of motivation. If you have nasal congestion symptoms, getting examined is highly recommended.

As explained above, if you look at functional rhinoplasty reviews, you can see that functional rhinoplasty is performed for a variety of symptoms. When undergoing functional rhinoplasty, it is important to accurately analyze the condition through equipment and perform surgery accordingly. Therefore, those looking into functional rhinoplasty reviews should also carefully check whether the medical team has extensive anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant related experience and expertise, whether the clinic has the equipment needed to clearly assess the condition of the nose, and whether aftercare can be fully guaranteed.

At Ohjiko Hospital & Nplus, before performing functional rhinoplasty, they accurately assess the internal and external condition of the individual’s nose through 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests, then establish and carry out a surgical plan based on the extracted data.

When performing functional rhinoplasty, the functional aspects can be improved first by accurately identifying the causes of rhinitis, such as a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, and then carrying out the appropriate surgery.

After improving function, cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed. In the case of cosmetic rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose is usually corrected with silicone, and the tip of the nose with autologous cartilage.

The materials used in rhinoplasty are selected through preoperative examinations to choose what is appropriate for each individual. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

The nasal bridge is made using silicone implants. Rather than using a pre-made commercial implant and creating an artificial line, the implant is carefully shaped by hand while considering various factors such as the individual’s overall image, and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, allowing for a more satisfying rhinoplasty.

At Ohjiko Hospital & Nplus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally oversees each patient one-on-one, handling everything from consultation related to rhinoplasty, to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up visits, providing high-level medical services from before surgery through after.

For postoperative care, they operate an A/S system that guarantees support for one year after surgery, as well as a surgical responsibility guarantee system that covers all possible situations such as postoperative pain, inflammation, and dissatisfaction with the result, so you can receive aftercare benefits even after surgery.

This concludes my explanation of Ohjiko Hospital & Nplus functional rhinoplasty reviews. I hope this article has been helpful for those who are looking into rhinoplasty because of functional issues inside the nose or dissatisfaction with the shape of the nose. Thank you.
