Can a closed nasal reduction fix a deviated septum or is it just for fractures?

Hello and thank you for your question. Although an exam in person is ideal with an intranasal evaluation, from your images alone it appears that you have a deviated septum with significant turbinate hypertrophy (large inferior turbinates). You can likely benefit from a turbinate reduction, a...

Adhesion between the posterior middle turbinate and the lateral nasal wall can obstruct ventilation and impair mucociliary clearance. If confirmed, endoscopic lysis of the synechia is the standard approach to reopen the space. Retained material in this region is typically due to poor drainage...

Your tip is slightly widened and you would benefit from a tip plasty. The medial and lateral cruras are pulled closer to the midline to refine the tip. You also have slight concavity of the dorsum. This can be improved at the same time, if desired. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

You would benefit from a rhinoplasty and septoplasty. The septum can be straightened and the bony abnormality can be removed as well. You would also benefit from tip refinement and change the nasal columella angle. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hello and thank you for your question -- a very good question at that ☝️ The short answer is that carefully placed spreader grafts (to stent open your internal nasal valves) when combined with careful osteotomies to narrow the nasal bones will not widen your nose. The long answer is as fol...

Hello and thank you for your question. Although an exam in person is ideal, from your photograph alone it appears that you have a deviated septum -- the key issue is if this causes a functional deficit i.e. any difficulty with your nasal breathing. You mentioned that you "breathe very deeply...
