FUNCTION · FORM
I cannot breathe properly through my nose, and I also have concerns about its shape.
Function and appearance can be discussed together without assuming that every nasal concern needs surgery.
Nasal obstruction · septal/external nasal deformity · functional rhinoplasty / septorhinoplasty
Assessment considers the internal nasal airway and external nasal framework. Photography or imaging is used only where clinically relevant.
Deeper discussion can address functional nasal surgery and rhinoplasty/septorhinoplasty planning, expectations and limitations where appropriate.
PATIENT GUIDE
Can nasal breathing and nasal shape be assessed together?
Yes. A functional nasal assessment can consider both the internal airway and the external nasal framework. The aim is to understand what is causing obstruction and what change is realistically achievable before discussing any operation.
