Functional Rhinoplasty: A Comprehensive Solution
It is estimated that 13% of surgeries that seek to modify the septum fail because they do not pay attention to other structures of the nose, causing significant complications when breathing. For example, if a nose is crooked in its upper part, we do not remove anything by modifying the septum, because it will be the same. The ideal thing there would be to free the cartilage, cut it and put grafts, this will allow the patient to have more space in their nose. In this case the operation would not only be a septoplasty, but it would be a functional rhinoplasty.
