FUNCTIONAL: Septoplasty or Turbinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty techniques USEFUL: Turbinoplasty or Septoplasty? Surgical procedures used in functional rhinoplasty are designed to enhance airflow through the nose. The procedures are known as septoplasty and turbinoplasty, respectively, depending on whether they are performed on the nasal septum or the turbinates, the bones in the nose that run along the side wall of the nose and are covered by mucous membranes. The nasal septum is a midline cartilage structure that divides the nose into right and left sides. Opening the nasal airways facilitates functional gains by facilitating better breathing. The most frequent structural issue is a deviated septum (a midline cartilage structure that divides the nose into right and left sides). There is no scar after nasal functional surgery because it is done through the nostrils or the natural nasal openings. In functional surgery, the nose's form is typically unaffected. Nasal breathing dysfunction is seen as a health issue and is frequently covered by health insurance. For Facial Plastic Surgery in Seattle Washington contact West Coast Face with Joseph Shvidler, MD
