Rhinoplasty and Improved Breathing

When you make the life-changing decision to undergo a rhinoplasty procedure, you may believe that the benefits will be purely cosmetic. However, this is not necessarily the case, as there may be other inherent advantages to this type of surgery, such as improved breathing and air travel through your nasal passageways.

According to recent reports by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, rhinoplasty is the third most common plastic surgery procedure in the United States, following only liposuction and breast augmentation. Though the procedure may change the look and feel of your nose, it can also alleviate some of the most common breathing problems that individuals experience on a daily basis. If you would like more information about rhinoplasty or wish to speak with an experienced physician regarding your candidacy for the procedure, contact Austin facial plastic surgeon Dr. Apostolakis at 512-329-8989 today.

Potential causes of nasal airway obstruction include the following:

• Deviated septum
• Enlarged turbinates

Though rhinoplasty is a relatively simple procedure, the decision to have it performed should not be taken lightly. To find out if this procedure is right for you, you should speak with a trained plastic surgeon today. Board-certified Austin facial plastic surgeon Dr. Apostolakis can evaluate your situation and advise you on the suitability of rhinoplasty in your individual case.
