Nasal airway obstruction is very common. In fact many people may not know they have at least a partial nasal airway obstruction as many have never experienced what it is like to breathe properly. Many patients consulting plastic surgeons for nose reshaping or rhinoplasty Los Angeles are diagnosed with a nasal airway obstruction. The patients will typically report that they have difficulty breathing through the nose. However, during examination a partial nasal airway obstruction is diagnosed. Furthermore on additional questioning, it becomes evident that many of the same patients do not sleep well at night or experience worsened breathing during exercises.
There are several causes of nasal airway obstruction. Chronic allergies are a common cause of difficulty breathing. Allergies do not respond to surgical treatment and are treated with medications. Nasal airway obstruction due to a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates (sometimes referred to as “meat”) can be effectively treated surgically during a procedure called rhinoplasty. It poses a surgical challenge for a Los Angeles plastic surgeon who is performing cosmetic Beverly Hills rhinoplasty on a patient who also has a nasal airway obstruction. As the nose is made smaller and narrower during rhinoplasty, the patency of nasal airway decreases. Unfortunately there are many patients who do not breathe well following their rhinoplasty procedures. Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons will take measures to also open nasal airways to improve or at least maintain the breathing function of the nose, since creating a beautiful nose that is blocked is simply a useless nose. Being able to breath well is important is as the quality of sleep, ability to exercise, and the health of the heart all depend on this important function.
