When I blowing my nose I hear this pop sound which concerns me everytime I also feel that structure could be require for me to breathe better
Answer: Difficulty blowing my nose... Thank you for your question and photographs. You should ideally be seen in person by a plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and evaluate the function of your nose. If you have breathing difficulty, surgery on your septum and cartilage grafts to improve your breathing may be performed. In your rhinoplasty consultation, be sure your surgeon addresses all your aesthetic goals and concerns specifically, and discusses the surgery details including the position and size of the incisions used (with actual photographs and not just digital animations), the risks and benefits of the procedure, recovery time, and post-operative course. Also, be sure to see plenty of before-and-after pictures in women who have a similar nose appearance to yours, and preferably at different time frames (3 weeks out, 3 months out, etc) to more accurately predict your own surgical outcome. And lastly, I think the most important component of the consultation is to establish a good connection with your plastic surgeon. It’s the connection that allows you to clearly define your desired nose outcome goals, the first step of this whole process. If you don’t feel you have a good connection with your plastic surgeon after your consultation, he/she may not be the best surgeon for you.Please refer to the link below for further information.

Answer: Nasal evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. If you are having breathing problems, there are several possible techniques which could be performed to help you breathe better including possible septoplasty and spreader grafts. The best intervention will depend on your intranasal examination. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Blow nose and hear a pop ! You need a consultation. Most likely you are opening the eustachian tube that goes from the internal nasal area to the inner ear. When you blow your nose the increased pressure may open the tube resulting in a popping sensation in one or both ears. See a PS or ENT doc for an exam.
