ANSWER Rhinitis Surgery
Chronic rhinitis and nasal obstruction often stem from a deviated septum and enlarged turbinate mucosa. ANSWER Plastic Surgery diagnoses the internal structures to find the cause of blockage, aiming to restore daily nasal breathing through septal correction and mucosal reduction.
When Rhinitis Surgery is needed
If any of the following apply to you, we recommend a specialist consultation.
Chronic nasal obstruction
Blockage recurs despite medication, and you often breathe through your mouth
One side blocks more
A deviated septum makes obstruction worse in one direction
Poor sleep quality
Obstruction causes mouth breathing or snoring during sleep
Combined with rhinoplasty
You want nasal obstruction resolved during rhinoplasty
CUSTOM DESIGN
Internal diagnosis that finds the cause
Nasal obstruction often results from several overlapping causes — septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, mucosal inflammation. ANSWER examines the internal structures, weighs each cause, and plans the needed combination of septal correction and mucosal reduction.
- 1Septal deviation and mucosa checked endoscopically
- 2Treatment combination designed by weight of each cause
- 3Integrated plan when combined with rhinoplasty
ANSWER POINT
Treatment that preserves mucosal function
The nasal mucosa humidifies and filters, so removing as much as possible is not good treatment. ANSWER reduces only the enlarged portion while preserving mucosal function, aiming to improve breathing while limiting side effects such as dryness.
- 1Function-preserving turbinate reduction
- 2Structural correction of the deviated septum alongside
- 3Post-operative guidance on nasal irrigation and care
ANSWER Rhinitis Surgery: How It's Done
Consultation & Endoscopic Diagnosis
The inside of the nose is examined to identify structural causes of obstruction.
Treatment Planning
The combination of septal correction, mucosal reduction, and other treatment is decided.
Septum & Mucosa Treatment
The deviated septum is corrected and enlarged mucosa reduced in a function-preserving way.
Recovery Care
Nasal irrigation and moisturizing support mucosal recovery while we monitor progress.
Frequently Asked Questions
QWill surgery cure my rhinitis completely?
Surgery improves the structural causes of obstruction, so better breathing can be expected. It does not remove an allergic constitution itself, so allergy symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose may still need medication and ongoing care.
QCan I have it together with rhinoplasty?
Yes. Septal correction shares part of the access route with rhinoplasty, so shape and function are often improved in a single operation. We prepare an integrated plan and guide you through it.
QWhen can I return to daily life?
Most patients resume daily life within 3–5 days. Avoid blowing your nose hard and strenuous exercise for about 2 weeks. We also teach you nasal irrigation for the recovery period.
