Does a Pinched Valve/narrow Mid Vault and Bulbous Tip Obstruct Airflow, and Can This Be Fixed by a Septoplasty? (photo)
watercolorsApr 21, 2013
B/c I'm looking to get my deviated septum fixed, I watched a video on Youtube w/ a girl talking about her septoplasty. She said her "pinched valve" in the middle of her nose and bulbous tip contributed to her breathing problems. She said these were functional issues; are they? I can see that my nose is the same way, but my ENT doctor never mentioned it. My nose is pinched in the middle with a round tip just like the actress in the pics below. Does a pinched valve or bulbous tip impair breathing?
