What is Functional Rhinoplasty?
Functional rhinoplasty is performed to correct a variety of problems that can make nasal breathing difficult. Some of the conditions that can be treated with this procedure include:
Nasal Septal Deflection
One of the most common causes of breathing difficulty is a deviated nasal septum, which is the bone and cartilage that separates the nostrils. When the septum is deviated, it can partially block one or both nostrils, making it difficult for air to pass through.
Hypertrophy of turbinates
The turbinates are shell-shaped structures inside the nose that help warm and humidify the air we breathe. If the turbinates are enlarged (hypertrophy), they can obstruct airflow and cause breathing problems.
Narrowing of the Nasal Fossa
Rhinoplasty can balance your facial features and improve the harmony between the nose, forehead and chin.
