Inferior Turbinate Reduction

This procedure improves nasal obstruction caused by Septoplasty, hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal valve stenosis, and other conditions while also refining the shape of the nose. The internal nasal structure is analyzed with 3D CT to determine the appropriate surgical method for each cause, and the nasal line is enhanced with Autologous Cartilage or a Silicone implant as needed.

Improves both nasal conditions and aesthetics so you can breathe comfortably.

Wonderful Functional Rhinoplasty POINTS

Point 1. 3D CT for Precise Internal Nasal Diagnosis

3D CT accurately identifies structural issues in the nose and diagnoses the cause of nasal obstruction, helping ensure precise surgery tailored to each type. · Systematic analysis of the nasal skeletal structure, Septal Cartilage, degree of deviation, and more · Assessment of the precise area and amount of tissue to be removed · Establishment of a meticulous and detailed surgical plan

Point 2. Customized Surgical Methods by Type

We accurately assess the internal nasal structure according to the cause of nasal conditions that interfere with daily life and perform customized surgery for each type.

Septoplasty

The cartilage located in the center of the nose is bent or twisted, causing symptoms such as nasal obstruction. If symptoms persist, they may lead to migraines or sore throat, or cause mouth breathing and interfere with daily life through sleep disturbances and more. · SOLUTION: Correct the condition by removing Septal Cartilage or straightening the cartilage

Hypertrophic Rhinitis

When the mucosa inside the nose called the inferior turbinate becomes inflamed and enlarged, symptoms such as nasal obstruction occur. This may cause otitis media, decreased sense of smell, or facial deformity, making treatment according to the cause important. · SOLUTION: If structural issues are severe, secure breathing space through inferior turbinate osteotomy

Nasal Valve Stenosis

This condition occurs when the upper internal area of the nose that regulates breathing becomes narrowed, causing a feeling of stuffiness and nasal obstruction. Surgically widening the narrowed nasal valve facilitates airflow and makes breathing more comfortable. · SOLUTION: Customized correction through Autologous Cartilage insertion or repositioning, depending on the cause

Point 3. A Nasal Line Harmonious with the Face

Before surgery (facial structure analysis) → 1 month after surgery Rather than simply raising the Nasal Bridge, we use Autologous Cartilage or a Silicone implant as needed to maintain stable internal nasal structures, achieving both functional improvement and a harmonious nasal line.
