Learn in Detail About Rhinoplasty for Rhinitis

Due to the recent sudden changes in weather, many people are experiencing nasal congestion caused by rhinitis and visiting hospitals because it interferes with their daily lives. In some cases, nasal congestion improves temporarily, but in others, symptoms do not improve at all even with medication or improved immunity and may actually worsen. For those who are struggling with daily inconvenience due to nasal congestion, this article can help you learn more about rhinoplasty for rhinitis.

When people search for reviews of rhinoplasty for rhinitis, it is usually because of nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. In mild cases, treatment may not be necessary, but if this symptom is left untreated, it can develop into chronic rhinitis and worsen further. Therefore, it is important to receive an accurate diagnosis using proper equipment. If symptoms worsen, chronic rhinitis can lead to various side effects such as headaches, migraines, sore throat, dry mouth, and reduced concentration.

Rhinitis that causes nasal congestion is a common condition found in more than 70% of Korean adults. It can be divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis appears due to specific substances or environments, so it is difficult to cure completely, but consistent efforts to improve immunity or medication treatment can provide temporary relief.

On the other hand, structural rhinitis causes nasal congestion because deformities in the structure obstruct the airflow entering through the nose. Since it occurs for different reasons, a precise analysis of the cause and appropriate surgery or treatment can raise expectations for a cure. Causes of structural rhinitis include deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, nasal valve stenosis, and combined conditions in which these symptoms appear together.

However, when people usually look into nose surgery, they often focus heavily on cases aimed at improving the external appearance of the nose. Our nose is not only important externally but also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smelling. Only when the external and internal conditions of the nose are accurately assessed and surgery is performed accordingly can postoperative functional problems and revision surgery be prevented. So rather than judging only by after photos, it is helpful to choose a place that can accurately assess the internal condition of the nose when looking into rhinoplasty for rhinitis.

At Oji Nose & Plus, to ensure safe and satisfying rhinoplasty for rhinitis, we perform multi-angle photography, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests before surgery. Based on the data obtained after accurately assessing each person's external and internal nasal condition, a surgical plan is established and carried out.

The procedure for rhinoplasty for rhinitis begins by first identifying symptoms such as deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis, followed by the appropriate surgery and treatment, after which cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed.

If you look into reviews of rhinoplasty for rhinitis, you will see that both aesthetic and functional procedures can be performed at the same time. In modern practice, rather than focusing only on aesthetic or cost-related aspects, surgeries that also address functional issues are considered the priority.

After prioritizing functional improvement, cosmetic rhinoplasty can be performed. In cosmetic rhinoplasty, the bridge can be corrected with silicone and the tip with autologous cartilage to improve the overall nasal line. For autologous cartilage, the appropriate material can be selected for each individual through preoperative testing.

Silicone is used for the nasal bridge. In this case, rather than using commercially produced silicone as is, it is carefully shaped by hand after considering various aspects such as the individual's overall facial impression and the bridge's width, length, size, and height, helping to create a more satisfying rhinoplasty for rhinitis.

As you can see from these reviews of rhinoplasty for rhinitis, the procedure is not limited to a single surgery. Because two or more surgical methods and materials are used, it is considered a highly advanced procedure even within plastic surgery. Those looking into rhinoplasty for rhinitis should also carefully check whether the medical team has strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have ample related experience and expertise, whether the facility is equipped with devices that can accurately assess the condition of the nose, and whether aftercare is reliably guaranteed.

At Oji Nose & Plus, CEO surgeon Yoon Hyun-cheol, who has over 20 years of experience, personally handles everything one-on-one, from rhinoplasty consultations and surgical planning to the procedure, treatment, and follow-up care. From before surgery to after surgery, you can receive high-level medical services.

For postoperative care, an A+ membership card is issued, providing a free A/S system guaranteed for one year after surgery. In addition, a surgical responsibility guarantee system is in place to prepare for any possible postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape, so you can also receive clear benefits in aftercare.
