Yes. Whether you have impaired breathing due to a traumatic injury or congenital condition, rhinoplasty can help improve airways and correct many functional problems in the nose. There are two surgical procedures that can help relieve airway obstruction and chronic nasal congestion. Septoplasty is a procedure to correct a deviated septum, a condition in which the bone and cartilage that divides the nostrils becomes displaced, causing impaired breathing. Turbinate Reduction is a procedure to reduce the size of the turbinate, a nasal structure that helps to warm and humidify the air we breathe. Turbinates naturally become temporarily enlarged when we suffer from colds and allergies, but in some people, turbinates may remain persistently enlarged, causing chronic nasal congestion. Septoplasty and Turbinate Reduction are often performed together to ease airway obstruction and congestion. In addition, these procedures can also be combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty for both improved function and enhanced aesthetics.
