The inability to effectively breath through one's nose is a common problem that has wide ranging negative effects on a person’s health. When nasal sprays and breathing appliances fail to provide adequate relief, our surgeons at Advocare ENT Specialty Center are able to surgically address each patient’s unique problem. Nasal breathing surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at improving airflow through the nose, addressing issues like a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, or chronic congestion. Depending on the specific concern, surgical techniques might involve straightening the septum, reducing turbinate size, or reconstructing the nasal valves to enhance breathing. These surgeries can be performed under general or local anesthesia, often using minimally invasive endoscopic methods to minimize discomfort and recovery time. Recovery usually involves a few days of mild discomfort or congestion, followed by gradual improvement in breathing over several weeks.
