The Importance of Functional Nose Correction image 1

Even though you are not suffering from an illness such as a cold,

there are many cases where a blocked nose and runny nose make daily life

not easy.

Thinking it might be an allergy,

you may have even changed your environment to solve it,

but it does not seem to have improved much.

In such cases, rather than suspecting a disease,

it is necessary to check whether there is something wrong

with the internal structure.

�a0

What is often used at this point is

functional nose correction.

Beyond pursuing beauty,

it can improve multiple functional aspects at once,

so satisfaction is high.

This kind of functional nose correction

is useful for improving problems caused by various conditions.

A representative example is deviated septum,

which is often mentioned because the bone and septal cartilage

are bent, narrowing the internal space and causing symptoms such as nasal congestion.

When this condition occurs,

not only does the nose become blocked,

but if left untreated it can also cause or worsen

sinusitis and rhinitis.

�a0

It is also good to use corrective surgery when a tumor,

perforation, or similar issue develops in the nasal valve,

which plays a major role in the breathing process,

causing the inside to narrow and making breathing uncomfortable.

During this process, the upper part of the nose rises,

and in reality, this is often evaluated as positive

from a cosmetic standpoint as well.

Separate from that, functional nose correction is also used for hypertrophic rhinitis.

When airflow inside the nasal cavity is not smooth,

inflammation can easily occur in the mucosa as well.

This condition is called hypertrophic rhinitis,

and its main symptoms include runny nose,

sneezing, nasal congestion, and itching.

�a0

The problem is that when these symptoms continue,

if they are left untreated, they can become chronic

and even cause sinusitis.

These symptoms generally appear in combination.

They are also affected by the season or weather,

so they only worsen and improve repeatedly,

and it is not something you can be sure will go away.

Recently, many people have been visiting medical institutions

to escape this discomfort

and also preserve the natural beauty of their nose.

After that, the entire process from consultation to insurance claim

is carried out systematically.

�a0

First, the medical staff uses 3D-CT

to examine the condition of the desired area.

After receiving a diagnosis,

contact the insurance company to check the coverage range

and the expected payout amount.

Next, a method suited to each individual situation is selected

to straighten the deviated nasal bone

and narrowed nasal valve, among other issues.

After these procedures are completed,

you submit the documents issued by the medical institution

to the insurance company for review,

and once you receive the insurance payment determined

according to the relevant regulations,

the entire process is complete.

Using this method lowers costs

and increases the success rate.

�a0

And just because the financial burden is reduced

does not mean satisfaction will be lower.

Moreover, since 3D-CT is used,

it also becomes easier to diagnose by identifying

the shape, form, and angle of the bent nasal bone.

After that, an honest and detailed consultation takes place

so that the functional aspects can be fully preserved

while also considering the aesthetic side.

After going through this process

and finishing functional nose correction,

it becomes fully possible to resolve existing concerns such as a low nose,

a hump nose, or a bulbous nose,

while also escaping the long-lasting runny nose

or sneezing that has been so troublesome.

�a0

In particular, rather than simply making the nose high and straight,

the nose is designed with the proper height,

length, and angle by considering facial proportions,

so the common view is that a beautiful nose line is completed

in harmony with the facial features from any angle.

For this, the role of medical staff who thoroughly understand

the structure of the entire face is considered especially important.

It is also a good idea to carefully look into

which equipment is being used.

The medical institution in question uses a debrider,

which is known to be mainly used in otolaryngology.

�a0

Although this device is somewhat different from the commonly used high-frequency device,

it is already well known for its superior performance.

First, it is equipped with a highly compatible connector,

so it can be combined with other blades,

and the angle can be adjusted carefully,

making delicate work easier.

In addition,

patients say that the handpiece used for functional nose correction

is equipped with a direct-drive motor,

which reduces friction and, conversely,

improves energy efficiency.

�a0

It is also impressive that it is made of a gear-less material,

so it is lightweight and reduces user fatigue.

If straight-through suction is additionally used,

uninterrupted cutting becomes possible,

which also helps minimize damage to the inferior turbinate mucosa.

Thanks to this, the main view is that faster recovery

can also be expected because the wound is smaller.

If a prosthetic implant suited to you is added here,

satisfaction becomes even higher.

The most commonly used product is silicone,

which has been certified by the U.S. FDA;

even after a long time after being inserted into the body,

it rarely deforms, is absorbed, or changes,

and its advantage is that the incidence of inflammation is low.

�a0

In addition, Fitmico, which is custom-made one-to-one

through 3D customizing techniques,

is also quite popular.

Because it is made to a size that fits each person's nasal bone precisely,

it is excellent at reducing problems such as bending or lifting.

There are also many cases of using AlloDerm,

which is made from donated dermis with the substances

that cause rejection removed,

and cartilage or autologous dermis harvested from the ear,

the septum, or the chest wall is also used.

However, for a successful transformation,

the person's own efforts are also required.

First, before visiting the clinic, avoid alcohol and smoking,

and if you have any underlying conditions or are taking any medications,

inform the medical staff in advance.

Also, because the correction is performed under sleep anesthesia

and takes about 2 hours,

it is better to visit the medical institution with about 7 days of spare time.

�a0

If you are currently suffering from unexplained nasal congestion

or a runny nose, you may want to take an interest in

functional nose correction.

Separate from becoming more beautiful,

you will also be able to confirm results that improve your quality of life.
