Rhinoplasty with aesthetic and functional goals
Many patients who consult us about rhinoplasty also have a functional problem to solve. In these cases, the procedure is performed to improve both the appearance and the function of the nose.
Appearance and function at once
Specialising in both nasal aesthetics and function makes it possible to provide a comprehensive solution in both respects.
The current paradigm is to always think of the nose from both perspectives: it should look beautiful and allow proper breathing.
Rhinoplasty for aesthetic purposes
Other patients only want an aesthetic change through plastic surgery of the nose. For them, surgery must start from the idea that nasal function has to be preserved: the patient must be able to breathe properly through the nose after the aesthetic procedure.
Goals of aesthetic rhinoplasty
- Bring the nose into harmony with the patient's face.
- Produce an aesthetic result that leaves the nose with no obvious surgical traces (so that it doesn't look operated on).
- Aim for natural results.
- Make sure a patient who breathes well before surgery also breathes well afterwards (protecting nasal function).
- Fulfil the patient's aesthetic wishes as far as is technically possible.
Rhinoplasty for functional purposes
In a few other cases we see patients who had aesthetic rhinoplasty and are left with breathing problems. For them we perform rhinoplasty aimed at improving nasal function.
What does functional rhinoplasty aim to correct?
- Internal and/or external nasal valve impairment.
- Vestibular stenosis.
- Inspiratory alar collapse.
- Septal deviation secondary to a laterally deviated nose.
