Rhinitis nose

Many people experience discomfort in their daily lives because their nose is often blocked or they feel as though they can breathe through only one side.

This is especially common when nasal congestion worsens during seasonal changes or while sleeping, yet many people simply assume it is ordinary rhinitis and overlook it.

However, when a structural problem inside the nose occurs together with rhinitis, it is important to accurately check the functional aspects first.

If you are also concerned about the appearance of your nose, a plan that considers both function and aesthetics may be needed.

If rhinitis symptoms continue, structural causes should also be checked.

Rhinitis can be caused by allergies or environmental factors, but nasal congestion may become more severe when the nasal septum is deviated or the inferior turbinates are enlarged.

In such cases, symptoms may recur even with medication alone, so the first step should be to accurately examine the current condition inside the nose and identify the cause.

In particular, if you have developed a habit of breathing through your mouth for a long time or feel uncomfortable because of nasal congestion during sleep, functional testing may be helpful.

Considering not only function but also the appearance of the nose

Many people come in for a consultation about rhinitis and also ask about features that have bothered them, such as a hump nose, crooked nose, low nose, or bulbous nose.

Rather than considering functional problems and the appearance of the nose separately, it is important to assess the current condition comprehensively and then develop an approach suited to the individual.

Rather than simply making the nose higher, considering its balance with the face and the structure needed for comfortable breathing may help improve satisfaction.

Why a thorough diagnosis is important

Not all cases of rhinitis symptoms have the same cause.

Because the condition of the nasal septum, the size of the inferior turbinates, and the internal nasal structure differ from person to person, it is necessary to check the current condition through a detailed examination before consultation.

At Very Good Plastic Surgery (베리굿성형외과), we examine the structure of the nose based on detailed diagnostic methods such as 3D CT and provide consultations that consider both functional and aesthetic aspects.

In addition to rhinoplasty, we also provide thorough consultations to establish a plan suited to the current condition for functional procedures such as septoplasty and inferior turbinate resection.

For satisfactory results

Reducing the discomfort caused by rhinitis is important, but considering a nasal line that blends naturally with the face is also a factor that can improve satisfaction.

Since function and appearance affect each other, it is important to develop a plan that considers overall balance rather than focusing on only one aspect.

If you are concerned about both rhinitis and the appearance of your nose, we recommend first determining the approach suited to you through a thorough consultation and detailed diagnosis.
