Functional Rhinoplasty Before and After
This gentleman in his 50’s underwent functional rhinoplasty to restore impaired nasal breathing. He required straightening of the nose and septum to allow adequate airflow through the nose. The tip was elevated as severe tip ptosis (hanging tip) can result in obstructed nasal breathing.
It is a surgical procedure that is designed to correct structural issues within the nose that cause breathing difficulties. Some common conditions that can be addressed include a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, and nasal valve collapse.
Breathing difficulties can be a significant source of frustration and discomfort for individuals. Functional procedures can help alleviate these issues, allowing for improved breathing function and overall quality of life. In addition to improving breathing, rhinoplasty can also enhance the appearance of the nose in some cases.
Procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. Recovery time can vary, but most patients can return to work or school within a week of the procedure. While the initial results of the surgery may be noticeable, the final results may take several months to fully develop as the nose heals.
