Functional nose surgery, known as functional rhinoplasty, has as its main goal the repair or correction of the nasal valves, or internal cartilage. The aim is to restore free breathing. However, a functional rhinoplasty offers the opportunity to improve the aesthetic appearance of the nose in the same surgery.
Balance Is Everything
Unfortunately, not every doctor understands this in a practical sense. As a result, they may endeavor to create a more aesthetic nose and risk jeopardizing functionality. It is important that your surgery not only addresses breathing issues but increases the balance the symmetry of your face when needed.
