Nasal Airway Surgery

Research supporting the benefits of breathing through the nose (rather than the mouth) has resulted in a much better understanding and awareness of how important the nasal airway is in relation to the critical functions of the body. There are many benefits to nasal breathing, including: filtration of allergens and toxins, humidification, increased oxygenation, slower breathing rate, reduced snoring and improved sleep.

While some medications can help improve your ability to breathe through your nose, many of these options have limited improvement and some are not safe for long term use. In the majority of patients with nasal obstruction, surgical correction of the nasal airway is the solution. Also called functional rhinoplasty, nasal airway surgery is generally safe and predictable, yielding significant improvement in nasal breathing with limited down time after the procedure. 

During your consultation, Dr. Nogan will examine the inside of the nose and determine the cause of breathing obstruction. There are three structures inside the nose that can play a role: the nasal septum, the nasal valves, and the turbinates. Straightening a deviated septum, open or repairing stenosis of the nasal valves and reducing the size of the turbinates can result in significant breathing improvement.

Nasal airway surgery can be performed alone or in combination with cosmetic rhinoplasty. If you had a nasal airway surgery in the past but still have symptoms, we also perform a significant number of revision nose surgeries. Dr. Nogan has performed several thousand nasal airway surgeries in his career and loves helping patients achieve an often life-changing improvement in their breathing.

 

 

Skin Cancer Reconstruction and Nasal Trauma

Reconstructing the nose after skin cancer removal or trauma is a delicate and complex process. No two reconstructive procedures are even the same, and a successful surgical outcome in this area requires a great deal of experience and expertise. With 10+ years of experience reconstructing noses after skin cancer removal, nasal injuries, burns, dog bites and many other causes, Dr. Nogans is truly an expert in the field of nasal reconstruction. 

The most common indication for nose reconstructive surgery is skin cancer. While we do perform biopsies and skin cancer removals on the face, most skin cancers are removed by a dermatologist or Mohs surgeon. We have extensive experience reconstructing the nose after the skin cancer is removed, and we often collaborate with our local dermatologists and Mohs surgeons to provide efficient and effective care. These reconstructive surgeries involve varying levels of complexity based on the size, type and location of the skin cancer on the nose. In addition to performing the surgery itself, we also have options available in the postoperative period to ensure the best possible healing as it relates to the appearance of the nose.

In addition to skin cancer surgery, we commonly see and treat broken noses, dog bites and other soft tissue injuries, burns, scars, rhinophyma and other less common conditions.
