- Nasal congestion
- Mouth breathing
- Dry mouth
- Reduced sense of smell
- Nosebleeds
- Frequent sinus infections
- Sinus pressure headaches
- Chronic bad breath
- Hypernasal voice tone
- Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
If you are concerned about a potential nasal obstruction and are experiencing any of the issues above, call and schedule a consultation with us. We can help you determine if you have an airway obstruction and if rhinoplasty can help.
What Is Functional Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a procedure that changes the appearance and structure of the nose. Most of our patients initially come to us due to cosmetic concerns. For both cosmetic and functional patients we perform a type of rhinoplasty that we call functional rhinoplasty. We address cosmetic, structural, and functional issues simultaneously, ensuring a stunning end result that works and looks its best.
Functional rhinoplasty is essential for the best results. During rhinoplasty, structural issues can develop, causing future breathing problems if not addressed. By keeping the airway in mind throughout the rhinoplasty process we can greatly reduce the need for revision rhinoplasty due to airway problems.
