Improve Your Breathing or Change Your Nose’s Size & Shape

Functional nasal surgery includes any surgery that’s performed on the outside or inside of your nose. Functional nasal surgery is a common type of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. It's used to:

improve breathing,
correct differences that have been present since birth (congenital differences),
change the shape and size of the nose (rhinoplasty), or
repair nose injuries.

Sometimes a surgeon may use a skin flap from your forehead as part of the procedure. Learn more about flap reconstruction.

What Is Septoplasty/Nasal Valve Repair?

Septoplasty is a nasal surgery that changes and reconstructs the partition (wall or divide) between your nostrils, also called your septum. Having a deviated septum, where your nasal partition is not straight, can make it difficult to breath.

Septoplasty also corrects cleft defects like cleft lip and cleft palate.
