Hello! This is Suseong Hanaro ENT Clinic, where clear breathing and crisp sounds begin. 😊
The nose is not just a feature that shapes our appearance—it is a vital structure responsible for breathing, sense of smell, and air filtration. When problems arise in the nose, they can affect not only its appearance but also its functional ability to breathe.
In particular, if structural deformities, trauma, or complications from previous nasal surgeries occur, nasal reconstruction can be considered to achieve both functional recovery and aesthetic improvement.
Common Situations Requiring Nasal Reconstruction
- Collapse or bending of the nasal bridge due to accidents or trauma
- Complications after previous rhinoplasty, such as contracture, infection, or implant exposure
- Congenital nasal deformities (e.g., nasal abnormalities associated with cleft lip and palate)
- Severe nasal obstruction caused by a deviated or collapsed septum
In these cases, the issues cannot be resolved with simple cosmetic surgery alone, so reconstruction that considers both function and appearance is necessary.
Nasal reconstruction surgery performed at Daegu ENT Clinic involves a comprehensive assessment of various nasal structures, including the septum, external nose, and nasal valves, with a medical approach aimed at improving both breathing function and appearance.
When necessary, the collapsed nasal structure can be restored using autologous cartilage (from the ear or rib) or specialized materials. A precise surgical plan is established based on CT scans and endoscopic examinations.
After surgery, a recovery period of approximately 1–2 weeks is required, and strenuous exercise or activities that put pressure on the nose should be avoided. Postoperative care is especially important, so regular follow-up visits to the ENT clinic are necessary.
Nasal deformities accompanied by functional problems cannot be corrected through cosmetic improvement alone. Because specialized knowledge of the respiratory structures is required, diagnosis and surgery by an ENT specialist are recommended.
Many patients visiting Daegu ENT Clinic are regaining their quality of life through nasal reconstruction.
If you are seeking structural and functional improvement—not just cosmetic purposes—it is important to start with an accurate diagnosis.
