Carefully Checking Functional Rhinoplasty Reviews

Our facial features consist of the eyes, nose, mouth, and face shape, all of which can influence first impressions. As the standards for appearance in modern society have risen, more and more people are trying cosmetic procedures to improve these features. Because of this, there are many ways to learn about cosmetic surgery. Our nose is located at the center of the face and is a three-dimensional feature, so if the shape of the nose is judged to be not straight or well aligned, the balance of the entire facial feature set can appear disrupted. For that reason, it can be considered one of the top priorities in cosmetic surgery.

For those looking into rhinoplasty, concerns may arise when the appearance is not ideal, such as a hump on the bridge, a crooked nose, a nose that is too low, an upturned nose, a drooping nose, or a hooked nose with an overall shape that is not straight or balanced.

However, because the nose plays an important external role and also functions in breathing and smell, it can be helpful to undergo treatment at a place that can accurately check for internal functional issues as well. A representative case where the nose’s functional aspects can be improved through rhinoplasty is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Surgery that improves these internal nasal functional issues while also performing cosmetic rhinoplasty is called functional rhinoplasty.

Therefore, people with these functional issues are often very interested in functional rhinoplasty reviews. Rhinitis is a very common condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea. It is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, it appears due to specific substances or environments, so temporary improvement may be possible through immune support or medication. However, structural rhinitis is caused by abnormalities in the internal structure of the nose and can be cured through surgery.

Causes of structural rhinitis that can be cured through surgery include a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. Each condition obstructs the flow of air entering through the nose and causes nasal congestion. However, symptoms alone make it difficult to accurately identify the cause of structural rhinitis, so it is important to receive an accurate diagnosis of the current condition through equipment, which can help you make the right choice.

In cases of structural rhinitis, surgery may not be necessary when symptoms are mild. However, if these symptoms are left untreated and develop into chronic rhinitis, nasal congestion can lead to a lack of oxygen to the brain, causing complications such as migraines, headaches, reduced concentration, and loss of motivation. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment and surgery can lead to a satisfying functional rhinoplasty review.

When nasal congestion caused by rhinitis occurs, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye whether it is allergic rhinitis, structural rhinitis, or a cold. Therefore, it is important to proceed after accurately checking the internal condition through equipment. For those looking into functional rhinoplasty reviews, it is also helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge about the nose, whether they have sufficient related experience and expertise, whether they have the equipment needed to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed.

At Ojiko Hospital & N Plus, before rhinoplasty is performed, 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, multi-angle photography, internal nasal function tests, and various allergy tests are used to accurately assess the individual’s internal and external nasal condition. Based on the extracted data, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

The process for functional rhinoplasty involves accurately diagnosing a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis to identify the exact cause of rhinitis, followed by the appropriate surgery and treatment, after which cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed.

After functional rhinoplasty, cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed to correct the overall nose line by using silicone for the bridge and autologous cartilage for the tip.

The autologous cartilage used for the nose tip can be selected through preoperative tests to choose the material best suited to the individual. Autologous cartilage includes ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

In the case of silicone, the implant used for the bridge, instead of using a mass-produced implant as is, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall appearance and the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, in order to minimize an artificial feeling after surgery.

In addition, at Ojiko Hospital & N Plus, Chief Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally oversees every step one-on-one, from consultation related to rhinoplasty to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up visits. This provides a safe and satisfying functional rhinoplasty experience from before surgery through aftercare.

The post-surgery aftercare also includes not only a free A/S policy guaranteed for one year after surgery, but also a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for any possible situations such as pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape after surgery, so you can receive reliable aftercare benefits after the procedure as well.

This concludes the explanation of functional rhinoplasty reviews at Ojiko Hospital & N Plus. I hope this article was very helpful for those who are considering rhinoplasty due to nasal congestion caused by rhinitis or dissatisfaction with the shape of their nose. Thank you.
