What Are The Advantages of a Rhinoplasty?
What is a rhinoplasty? It’s a reconstruction of the nasal bones and cartilage. The procedure can be done “closed” or “open.” A closed rhinoplasty is when incisions are made inside of the nose, and an open rhinoplasty raises the skin of the columella—the strip of tissue that separates the nostrils.
A rhinoplasty is advantageous for two reasons: treating a deviated septum and improving the facial harmony.
Breathe a Sigh of Relief With Rhinoplasty
A deviated septum occurs when the nasal septum favors one side of the nostrils, causing one nasal passage to be smaller. Thus, it becomes harder to breathe through the nose. A reduced airflow through the nasal passages can be annoying, but many people continue to live with it. However, a deviated septum can get worse, leading to a nasal obstruction, which can cause the following:
- Dry mouth
- Pressure and congestion in the nasal passages
- Disturbed sleep
