Functional Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve nasal breathing by correcting structural abnormalities affecting airflow through the nose.

Improved Nasal Breathing: Addresses structural obstructions that restrict airflow through the nose. Nasal Valve Correction: Repairs or reinforces weakened or collapsed nasal valves. Septal Correction: Can be combined with septoplasty to correct a deviated nasal septum. Structural Support: Strengthens weakened nasal cartilage and supporting structures. Post-Traumatic Correction: Addresses breathing difficulties caused by previous nasal injuries. Revision Functional Surgery: May correct breathing problems following previous rhinoplasty. Improved Daily Comfort: May reduce nasal obstruction during sleep, exercise and everyday activities. Long-Lasting Results: Aims to provide durable improvements in nasal airflow and structural stability.

Functional Rhinoplasty can address nasal obstruction caused by weakened nasal valves, structural deformities, nasal cartilage collapse, trauma or complications following previous nose surgery.

Septoplasty focuses on straightening the nasal septum. Functional Rhinoplasty addresses a broader range of structural problems, particularly those involving the external nose and nasal valves. Both procedures may be combined when necessary.

Yes. Nasal valve repair is one of the main applications of Functional Rhinoplasty. Surgery may involve cartilage grafts, structural reinforcement or repositioning of nasal tissues to improve airflow.

Yes. Rhinoplasty may narrow selected areas of the nasal bridge, nasal bones, nasal tip, or nostril base. The technique depends on which anatomical structures contribute to nasal width.

Yes. A prominent nasal hump can often be reduced by carefully reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage.

Yes. Nasal tip surgery can improve the rotation and support of a drooping tip. The surgeon may reshape or reposition the nasal tip cartilages and use supporting grafts when necessary.

Yes. Rhinoplasty may improve nasal deviation or asymmetry caused by natural anatomy, previous injury, or structural abnormalities.

Open rhinoplasty uses incisions inside the nostrils and a small external incision across the columella, allowing direct access to the nasal framework. Closed rhinoplasty uses internal incisions only. Both approaches can achieve excellent results in appropriately selected patients.

Tip rhinoplasty focuses on reshaping the nasal tip rather than extensively modifying the entire nose. It may improve tip definition, projection, rotation, or symmetry.

Yes, when nasal obstruction is caused by structural problems that can be corrected surgically. Functional procedures may address septal deviation, nasal valve weakness, or other anatomical abnormalities.

Primary rhinoplasty commonly takes approximately 2–4 hours, although the duration varies with the complexity of the procedure. Revision or reconstructive rhinoplasty may take longer.

Yes. Rhinoplasty may be combined with selected procedures such as chin augmentation or other facial contouring surgery when clinically appropriate.
