Functional Nose Surgery for Better Breathing

Are you unable to smell the rich aroma of your favourite food? Does your snoring keep your loved ones awake at night? Do you have trouble breathing? If yes, then a consultation with qualified ENT surgeon may be exactly what you require. At ENT London, we specialise in treating medical conditions that affect the nose, including carrying out nose surgery. The ENT surgeons at our clinic use advanced techniques to alleviate breathing problems and treat nose disorders which may also help improve one’s sense of taste and smell.

 

Functions of the Nose

In an average day, we breathe more than 17,000 times. Before this air reaches the lungs, it is humidified, filtered and brought to a suitable temperature, by the nose. The air we breathe keeps our body energised and detoxified. When the process of breathing through the nose is hampered, an individual may be unable to perform their daily tasks comfortably.

 

Breathing difficulties have a wide range of causes. These include internal nasal disorders and diseases, congenital defects, injuries to the internal channels and accidents. The inability to breathe properly can sometimes cause chronic fatigue, and considerably affect the wellbeing of an individual. If a patient is suffering from problems of the nose, a consultation with one of the ENT specialist at ENT London can be of significant benefit. The appointed experienced ENT surgeon at our clinic will conduct a thorough assessment, before suggesting suitable treatments, which may include nose surgery, if required.

 

Types of functional nose surgery

Functional nose surgery can restore the normal breathing of a patient, and return a damaged/ deformed nose to a more natural shape.

 

Patients who suffer from enlarged turbinates and twisted nasal partition may have difficulty breathing through the nose and become mouth breaters. In such cases, an ENT surgeon may recommend functional nose surgery to open the nasal channels. As such nose surgery can affect the external appearance of a patient’s nose, good ENT surgeons use immense skill to minimise visible scars, while performing the nose surgery.

 

Another type of functional nose surgery is septoplasty, used to correcxt a twisted and bent partition of the nose. Depending on the particular case, this procedure usually involves the widening of channels created by deviations to the septum.
