What is a nose job (Rhinoplasty)?

Publication Date:October 26, 2022

Rhinoplasty is usually just considered a facial cosmetic surgery by the majority of individuals. 

While rhinoplasty undoubtedly has cosmetic advantages, many men and women are surprised to realize that the procedure can also enhance breathing and other aspects of your nose’s functionality.

Whatever the nature of your concerns may be, Vitapera clinic will help you address any problems you may have.

In functional rhinoplasty, the nose is reshaped to improve nasal airflow and drainage. It improves your ability to breathe.

Surgery to fix a deviated septum is known as septoplasty. Your doctor will straighten the septum during a septoplasty to improve airflow.

Functional vs. Cosmetic Nose Surgery

An aesthetic component to enhance the nose’s look, a functional component to improve breathing, or a combination of the two can all be included in nose surgery.

Some patients just get nose surgery for cosmetic benefits, while others only get it to improve breathing.

However, because the patient wishes to simultaneously improve nasal airway function and nose attractiveness, there is frequently some overlap between the two problems.

Nasal breathing issues symptoms:

The following are the most typical signs of nasal dysfunction:

  • nasal blockage.
  • breathing issues with one or both nostrils.
  • nasal migraines.
  • nasal tension.
  • facial pressure and pain.

Negative Effects Of Breathing Issues

Your body may experience negative effects when you have difficulty breathing through your nose. Everyone will occasionally experience limited breathing due to allergies or the typical cold, but persistent breathing problems can be highly harmful. 

This is because having trouble breathing will prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep, depriving your body of the crucial time it needs to rest and repair itself.

Receiving insufficient oxygen results in your blood not carrying as much oxygen to all of your critical organs. The following are a few of the most typical effects of having breathing problems:

  • Heart Trouble: Heart trouble is, regrettably, one of the main effects of persistent breathing problems. This is a result of your heart not receiving enough oxygen-rich blood for proper operation.
  • Mental health problems: One of the main consequences of constantly having your sleep interrupted is that your brain doesn’t get a chance to fully wind down and rest. As a result of your brain’s attempt to adjust to the lack of sleep, you could experience worry and anxiety.
  • Obesity: If your body doesn’t get the adequate amount of sleep it requires, it will make up for it by storing fat and calories rather than burning them. Due to your fatigue, you will also have less energy to walk around for the rest of the day.

Indications to Get a Functional Rhinoplasty

The most frequent reasons for a patient to select a functional rhinoplasty relate to pre-existing functional limitations. 

Functional rhinoplasty can be used to treat restricted nasal breathing, which can be brought on by a birth abnormality, nose injury, tumor, or infection.

Other reasons for functional rhinoplasty include collapse, stenosis, and nostril constriction. If your current situation fits any of these typical functional rhinoplasties or indications, the operation will almost certainly make breathing easier.

How can having a nose job improve breathing?

Whether your initial motivation for getting a rhinoplasty was breathing issues or not, you might find it easier to breathe following the procedure. 

The nasal passages on one or both sides may be blocked, constrained, or even collapsed in patients with a deviated septum or crooked nose, making it challenging for them to breathe normally. 

These physical problems can be resolved by rhinoplasty to increase the number of open, unblocked nasal channels. For improved nasal breathing, additional issues like an enlarged turbinate may be addressed during nose surgery.

After rhinoplasty, even patients who are only interested in straightening their noses may discover that breathing is more pleasant and easy.
