Does Rhinoplasty Cure Nasal Problems Such as Snoring?
While rhinoplasty, commonly known as a nose job, is most popular for the aesthetic purposes it can provide for individuals, did you know rhinoplasty can solve snoring? Snoring is usually caused by a functional or structural issue within the nasal passage. Obstructions within the nose can make it difficult for people to breathe, especially at night, meaning more open-mouth breathing and snoring.
Improve Your Breathing with Functional Rhinoplasty
A functional rhinoplasty is a nose job that corrects any structural issues within the nose. A deviated septum is one of the most common structural concerns within the nose. If you have trouble sleeping, breathing with your mouth closed, or persistent snoring, you might be suffering from issues associated with a deviated septum. This is because the cartilage within the nose is slanted, causing an airflow blockage. Having any obstruction to your breathing can make it difficult to breathe freely, sleep uninterrupted, and even smell.
What is a Deviated Septum?
A deviated septum happens when the nasal bone and cartilage that divides your nostrils is slanted or curved. For many people, they may not even know that they have a deviated septum, but for others, the symptoms are very annoying and troublesome. Not only can a deviated septum cause snoring, but it can also cause chronic sinus inflammation, nosebleeds, nasal congestion, headaches, and sleep apnea.
If you want to get rid of your pesky snoring habit, a functional rhinoplasty surgeon can correct any obstruction within the nose by straightening or removing the cartilage and setting it in place with the bone. Sometimes, this can even unintentionally improve the overall look of your nose.
