Nasal Valve Collapse Treatment Gallery Patient 158178

Functional Nasal Surgery After 2 Breaks In 5 Years

This 27 year old female patient complained of bilateral nasal obstruction, more severe on the left side than on the right. The patient has a history of nasal trauma, having experienced two separate accidents resulting in a broken nose within the last 5 years. Upon physical examination, she has a severely deviated nose and septum, internal and external valve collapse, and a boxy, asymmetric tip. Dr. Klausner performed an open reduction of the septal fracture, and valve repair to improve her nasal airway function and the external appearance of her nose.
