Functional Rhinoplasty in Dallas, TX
Breathe Easier and Feel More Confident with Functional Rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty is a specialized procedure designed to correct structural issues in the nose that impair breathing. Unlike purely cosmetic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty focuses on restoring or improving nasal function, though many patients also experience cosmetic improvements as a result.
​
At Dallas ENT Group, our board-certified ENT specialists combine medical expertise with a deep understanding of facial anatomy to ensure each patient receives safe, effective, and personalized care. We perform functional rhinoplasty to address a variety of concerns that affect nasal airflow and comfort.
What Conditions Can Functional Rhinoplasty Treat?
Functional rhinoplasty is commonly recommended for patients experiencing:
-
Deviated Septum – A crooked or off-center nasal septum that blocks airflow.
-
Nasal Valve Collapse – Weakness or collapse of the nasal sidewalls, often noticed during deep breathing or exercise.
-
Congenital Defects or Trauma – Birth defects or injuries that impact both the shape and function of the nose.
-
Chronic Nasal Obstruction – Ongoing stuffiness or blockage not relieved by medication.
How Is Functional Rhinoplasty Performed?
This procedure is tailored to each patient’s needs. It may involve:
-
Septoplasty – Straightening the nasal septum.
-
Nasal Valve Repair – Reinforcing or reconstructing weak nasal valves.
-
Turbinate Reduction – Shrinking or repositioning the turbinates (structures that filter and humidify air).
-
Cartilage Grafting – Using the patient’s own cartilage to support the nasal structure.
​​
Functional rhinoplasty is often performed under general anesthesia, with recovery typically taking a few weeks. Patients usually report significant improvement in breathing, better sleep, and enhanced quality of life.
