Functional Rhinoplasty: Improving Rhinitis and Achieving a Sophisticated Male Profile
A case study of a 20-year-old male who improved breathing issues and corrected a dorsal hump through functional rhinoplasty.

* Basic Information
- Male in his 20s
- Has experienced significant breathing discomfort due to rhinitis since childhood.
- Concerned about an uneven nasal bridge caused by a dorsal hump and a lack of facial dimension.
* Consultation
- The patient expressed concerns regarding a low nasal bridge and an uneven appearance caused by a hump.
- In addition to aesthetic improvements, we decided to address the functional breathing difficulties caused by rhinitis.
* Surgical Plan
- Bridge Rhinoplasty (Hump reduction, Augmentation)
- Tip Rhinoplasty (Bulbous tip correction)
- Functional Rhinoplasty (Septoplasty, Turbinate reduction, Internal valve reconstruction)










* Post-operative Progress
- The dorsal hump was corrected, and an implant was used to raise the bridge, creating a slim and sophisticated look.
- As the nose became more defined, the overall facial line transformed into a more masculine and refined appearance. This was a highly satisfying case where both aesthetic goals and functional rhinitis relief were achieved.
- When undergoing nose surgery, functional aspects must always be considered. If you experience discomfort while breathing, address it together with the aesthetic changes!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
