What Is Functional Nasal Surgery?
Functional nasal surgery addresses structural causes of nasal obstruction, including:
Deviated septum
Nasal valve collapse
Post-traumatic nasal deformity
Weak nasal sidewalls
Persistent blockage after septoplasty
Procedures may include functional septorhinoplasty, septoplasty with valve repair, or structural nasal reconstruction. The aim is durable improvement in breathing, sleep, exercise tolerance, and overall nasal comfort.
