Functional Rhinoplasty

Functional Rhinoplasty Overview

While many people associate nose surgery with cosmetic enhancement, functional rhinoplasty serves to correct structural nasal concerns that interfere with breathing. Patients suffering from a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, enlarged turbinates, or nasal polyps will find lasting relief with customized functional rhinoplasty, expertly performed by our skilled providers at HIM Plastic Surgery in Dallas, TX.

What is Functional Rhinoplasty?

Functional rhinoplasty is performed to repair abnormalities within the nose that obstruct breathing, cause headaches, and interfere with the patient’s overall quality of life. Blocked airways may be the result of congenital disabilities, trauma, accidents, or injury. Concerns addressed with functional rhinoplasty include:

  • Poor breathing
  • Chronic nasal congestion
  • Impaired sense of smell
  • Dry mouth
  • Nasal drip
  • Repeating sinus infections
  • Debilitating headaches
  • Recurring nosebleeds

What Conditions Are Treated With Functional Rhinoplasty?

  • Deviated septum – The septum is the cartilage wall separating the nose into two chambers. While ideally, it should divide the inner nasal space evenly, the septum sometimes leans to one side, causing a range of problems, such as sinus infections, facial pain, and nasal drip.
  • Nasal valve collapse—Patients with a collapsed nasal valve may encounter crusted nostrils, breathing issues, snoring, or nosebleeds. Tissue grafting can restore the valves’ structure, helping to facilitate clear and open nasal passageways.
  • Enlarged turbinates – Enlarged turbinates can compromise healthy breathing. With functional rhinoplasty, the turbinates are either removed or revised to restore uninterrupted airflow.
  • Nasal polyps – These non-cancerous growths can arise in the sinuses or nasal passageways, making breathing more difficult. Polyps may be responsible when a patient loses their sense of smell or experiences chronic congestion, headaches, and infections.

What Are the Benefits of Functional Rhinoplasty?

Functional rhinoplasty comes with a wealth of life-changing benefits, including the following:

  • Enhances breathing and respiratory function
  • Corrects deviations and abnormalities like a deviated septum or turbinate hypertrophy
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Elevates overall quality of life
  • Preserves the inner nasal scaffolding
  • Balances the facial appearance
  • Boosts confidence and well-being
  • Customized results
  • Lasting changes
  • Inconspicuous scarring

Am I a Candidate For Functional Rhinoplasty?

If your nasal passageways are too narrow or you suffer from chronic ailments like headaches, nosebleeds, and sinus infections, functional could transform your breathing and help you live comfortably and easily. It is also an ideal surgery for patients whose sleep quality has been compromised by structural issues within the nose. As with any surgical undertaking, ideal candidates are non-smokers in good mental and physical health who have realistic expectations for their results. Our knowledgeable team at HIM Plastic Surgery in Dallas, TX, will conduct a personalized consultation to evaluate your breathing and discern whether functional rhinoplasty is the right choice for your goals.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step in Getting a Functional Rhinoplasty?

The first step in treating functional nasal concerns is to undergo a private consultation with our team of world-class surgeons at HIM Plastic Surgery in Dallas, TX. During this initial meeting, we will assess your concerns and review your medical history, determining the root causes of your discomfort and symptoms. Once your customized treatment plan has been designed, we will schedule your surgery date.

What to Expect on the Day of Functional Rhinoplasty Surgery

Functional rhinoplasty is most commonly performed under general anesthesia using an “open” approach, meaning that the surgeon creates a small incision across the columella at the base of the nose. This allows unfettered access to the inner nasal structures, including the septum, valves, and turbinates. Your provider will then utilize cutting-edge techniques and meticulous attention to detail to complete the changes required so that you can breathe easier.

What is Recovery Like After Functional Rhinoplasty Surgery?

After functional rhinoplasty, patients may be asked to wear a nasal splint for 7-10 days in order to support their healing process. Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness will be present for up to several weeks. However, these symptoms can be well-managed with prescription pain medications. Most patients can expect to resume their normal schedules within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery often takes up to one full month.
