Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Uber Plastic Surgery :)💎

When the nose is visibly crooked on the outside, it is called a deviated nose.

Just because the nose is crooked on the outside doesn't necessarily mean the inside is crooked as well.

​

However, if the inside is deviated, it can lead to a deviated septum,

which often causes nasal congestion.

​

Today, let's find out what functional problems can occur when you have a deviated nose.

​

What functional problems can occur with a deviated nose?

As mentioned earlier, just because the outside is crooked doesn't mean the inside is, so the external deviation itself doesn't necessarily cause functional problems.

However, if the inside of the nose is deviated, functional issues can arise.

➰If you have a deviated septum, the nasal cavity narrows in the direction of the deviation, making it difficult to breathe.

In this case, surgery to straighten the septum can alleviate the narrowing of the nasal cavity.

Another condition that causes functional problems is rhinitis.

➰Rhinitis is a condition where the nasal mucosa swells and produces a runny nose due to internal medical factors such as seasonal or allergic triggers,

resulting in nasal congestion.

Surgery cannot completely resolve these internal medical factors.

However, there is a structure called the inferior turbinate, which is a bump-like protrusion of the mucosa on both walls when looking inside the nostrils from below.

Using a device called a coblator, we can shrink this mucosa and push the bone inside the inferior turbinate outward.

This structurally expands the space between the septum and the inferior turbinate, widening the airway.

​

➰If the internal nasal valve itself is narrow, to widen the space between the septum and the upper lateral cartilage,

a spreader graft can be placed here to widen the internal nasal valve.

Frequently Asked Questions

If my nose looks crooked on the outside, does it automatically mean I have difficulty breathing?

No, not necessarily. A crooked external appearance of the nose does not always mean the internal structures are also crooked, so the external shape itself does not cause functional problems. However, if the nasal septum inside the nose is also deviated, nasal congestion can occur.

What symptoms appear if I have a deviated septum?

Nasal congestion and difficulty breathing are the main symptoms. The nasal cavity narrows in the direction of the deviated septum, making it difficult to breathe. In such cases, surgery to straighten the septum can widen the narrowed nasal cavity and alleviate symptoms.

Can allergic rhinitis be completely cured with surgery?

No, surgery cannot completely resolve internal medical factors. Rhinitis occurs due to medical factors such as seasonality or allergies. However, it is possible to perform surgery using a high-frequency device called a Coblation to reduce the inferior turbinate mucosa and push the bone outwards, structurally widening the breathing space.

How is surgery performed if nasal obstruction is caused by a narrow internal nasal valve?

The narrowed space is widened through spreader grafts. The principle is to implant cartilage or similar material into the space between the nasal septum and the upper lateral cartilage, thereby expanding the internal nasal valve itself to facilitate smoother breathing.
