Choosing Wisely After Reviewing Functional Nose Surgery Experiences

For a variety of reasons, many people are increasingly interested in cosmetic procedures to improve their appearance. Among them, nose surgery may be considered first because the nose is located at the center of the face and is one of its most three-dimensional features. If the shape of the nose is judged to go against the standard a person has in mind, the overall balance of the face may appear to be disrupted. On the other hand, even a small change in the shape of the nose can have a major effect on improving one’s image, so if you are not satisfied with your nose shape, you may look into information about nose surgery in more detail to improve it.

As explained above, the nose is important externally, but internally it is an organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell, and it plays an important role in the entire body. Because of this, surgery that also considers the functional aspects of the nose is important, and you can learn more about functional nose surgery experiences, which refer to surgery that takes both cosmetic nose surgery and functional aspects into account.

Functional nose surgery refers to a procedure in which functional nose surgery to correct various uncomfortable symptoms inside the nose and cosmetic nose surgery to improve parts of one’s nose shape that feel lacking are performed at the same time.

Therefore, for those looking into functional nose surgery experiences, nasal congestion caused by rhinitis is one of the representative internal nasal discomfort symptoms. Rhinitis is a common condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, symptoms appear due to specific substances or environments, so it is difficult to cure completely, and medication treatment or steady immune improvement should be prioritized.

In contrast, structural rhinitis can be cured through functional nose surgery. The causes of structural rhinitis include a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and combined symptoms. In such cases, because the various conditions interfere with the flow of air entering through the nose and cause nasal congestion, surgery must be performed after accurately identifying these conditions in order to prevent symptoms from recurring after the operation.

Also, in the case of nasal congestion, treatment may not be necessary when symptoms are mild, but if symptoms worsen, they can develop into chronic rhinitis, and because oxygen is not sufficiently delivered through the nose, headaches, migraines, decreased concentration, and loss of motivation may occur. If nasal congestion leads to breathing through the mouth, complications such as dry mouth, sore throat, or pharyngitis may occur. For that reason, surgery should be performed according to each individual’s symptoms in order to achieve a safe and satisfying functional nose surgery experience.

Therefore, since it is important for surgery for nasal congestion symptoms to be carried out through an accurate diagnosis, those looking into functional nose surgery experiences may also find it helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant relevant experience and expertise, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of the nose, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed.

At Oziko N Plus, before nose surgery is performed, 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, internal nasal function tests, and multi-angle photography are made mandatory. Based on the data obtained after accurately identifying the patient’s current condition, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

The functional nose surgery procedure corrects a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis through different methods of surgery and treatment depending on the symptoms, after which cosmetic nose surgery is performed. In the case of cosmetic nose surgery, the bridge of the nose can be corrected with silicone, and the tip of the nose with autologous cartilage.

When reviewing functional nose surgery experiences, the materials used for the cosmetic nose surgery performed after functional surgery vary from person to person. This allows the material that suits each individual to be selected in advance through preoperative testing. Autologous cartilage includes ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

Silicone is used for the bridge of the nose. To minimize a artificial-looking appearance after surgery, instead of using a pre-manufactured implant as-is, it is carefully shaped by hand while considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall image, as well as the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge. This can lead to higher satisfaction after surgery.

At Oziko N Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally oversees each patient one on one, handling every step from consultation related to nose surgery, to surgery planning, performance, treatment, and follow-up visits. This allows patients to proceed with peace of mind from before surgery through aftercare.

The aftercare provided after surgery includes not only a free A/S system guaranteed for one year after the operation, but also a surgical responsibility guarantee system prepared for all possible situations such as post-surgery pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. Those who have the N Plus membership card can receive aftercare benefits at any time.

That concludes the explanation of Oziko N Plus functional nose surgery experiences. I hope this post has been very helpful for those who are looking into nose surgery because they are unhappy with the shape of their nose or are having difficulty in daily life due to nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Thank you.
