Nose
A nose that breathes comfortably and doesn't compromise on beauty.
What is functional rhinoplasty?
Breathable functionality and beautiful lines, all at the same time.
DU Plastic Surgery's functional rhinoplasty for nasal congestion corrects functional problems such as nasal obstruction, allergic rhinitis, and septal deviation, while also creating a natural and harmonious nose line with DU's unique design know-how.
Through precise diagnosis using endoscopy and 3D CT, we accurately identify the problem area and perform inferior turbinate surgery, septal correction, and nasal valve reconstruction to improve function and reduce the possibility of recurrence.
Here Applying DU's SafeCore™ nose tip stabilization systemIt increases both structural stability and aesthetic perfection. Satisfactory results through precise surgical planning and 3D virtual simulationLeads to.

When functional rhinoplasty is needed
Target

Rhinitis functional rhinoplasty surgery method
Case 01
Case 01
Septal deviation
A deviated septum (the cartilage and bone in the center of the nose) is removed or corrected to balance airflow between the two nostrils.
In addition to improving functional breathing, it also helps improve appearance by correcting the center of the nose.
Case 02
Case 02
Nonvalvular stenosis
The narrow area of the nostril entrance (internal and external nasal valves) is expanded with cartilage or a support is inserted to facilitate airflow.
It improves the structure of the nostrils that are rolled inward or the narrow nostrils, making breathing easier when inhaling.
Case 03
Case 03
Hypertrophic rhinitis (inferior turbinate thickening)
If the inferior turbinate (nasal concha) inside the nose is enlarged, its volume is reduced using radiofrequency or resection surgery.
It is effective for patients with chronic rhinitis or allergic rhinitis and improves nasal congestion symptoms.
