My nose collapses when I suck air from my nostrils. How would surgery fix that?
New ScientistFeb 18, 2014
I will be having a Rhin/Septo/Endoscopic Inferior turbinoplasties. I have a deviated septum, so my surgeon said he was going to get the excess septum and use it to add support above my nostrils. When I breathe in air my nose sucks in the skin above my nostrils, so it seems like it's making contact with my septum which restricts my breathing. Is this procured common? Can someone please tell me how this will be performed? Is there a name for it?
