<\/p>\nThe following diagrams provide a simplified illustration of how certain changes in the nose affect breathing:<\/p>\n

\ud83e\uddf1 Nasal septum b)<\/p>\n
A tension septum occurs when the nasal septum is under excessive tension, usually in the front part of the nose.
\nThis tension can both impair breathing and alter the shape of the nose.<\/p>\n
Possible causes:<\/strong> The tension can pull on or distort other nasal structures.<\/p>\n \u2022 difficulty breathing through the nose \u2022 Targeted relaxation and reshaping of the septal cartilage The goal is a tension-free, stable nasal structure that improves breathing.<\/p>\n What does “ballooning of the nose” mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n The ballooning phenomenon describes the inward pulling of the lateral nasal wall during inhalation. How does the ballooning phenomenon occur?<\/strong><\/p>\n When you inhale, negative pressure builds up in the nose. Common causes:<\/strong> How do people with this condition recognize ballooning?<\/strong><\/p>\n Common symptoms:<\/strong> How can ballooning be treated?<\/strong><\/p>\n The correction is performed on an individual basis:<\/strong> The goal is to achieve a permanently stable nasal septum and unobstructed, natural nasal breathing.<\/p>\n Wide nose and impaired nasal breathing<\/strong><\/p>\n A wide nose refers to an anatomical shape of the external nose characterized by a broad nasal base and\/or wide nostrils. In addition to aesthetic considerations, this nasal shape may, in some cases, be associated with functional impairment of nasal breathing. <\/p>\n Possible functional causes:<\/strong> Medical classification:<\/strong> Treatment Options:<\/strong> <\/p>\n What is nasal valve stenosis?<\/strong><\/p>\n Nasal valve stenosis is a narrowing of the nasal valve, the narrowest part of the nasal airway. As a patient, you can feel the nasal flap when you come to the narrowing in the front inner section.<\/p>\n Causes of nasal valve stenosis<\/strong> Common symptoms<\/strong> Treatment of nasal valve stenosis<\/strong> The goal is to keep the nasal valve permanently open and significantly improve quality of life<\/p>\n Screenshot<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n What is a septal dislocation?<\/strong><\/p>\n A septal displacement is a shift of the nasal septum at its base away from its normal position, often resulting in a deviation of the septum on the opposite side. What causes a deviated septum?<\/strong> Possible symptoms<\/strong> How is a deviated septum treated?<\/strong> The goal is a straight, stable nasal septum and unobstructed nasal breathing.<\/p>\n This article provides a brief overview of the most common types of medically relevant nasal tips, the correction of which not only improves nasal breathing but also generally has an impact on aesthetics. Given the complexity of nasal anatomy and its impact on respiratory function, you should consider the surgeon\u2019s training and experience in ENT surgery when making your choice, as this will help you make the right decision.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This article provides an overview of the common types of medically relevant nasal tips, the correction of which not only improves nasal breathing but also generally has an impact on aesthetics.
\n\u2022 septal cartilage that is too long or too thick
\n\u2022 uneven growth
\n\u2022 previous injuries
\n\u2022 compensatory deformities inside the nose<\/p>\nWhat symptoms occur?<\/h3>\n
\n\u2022 A feeling of pressure or tightness
\n\u2022 Deviated septum
\n\u2022 Change in the position of the tip of the nose
\n\u2022 unstable tip of the nose<\/p>\nHow is a tight septum corrected?<\/h3>\n
\n\u2022 Functional septum correction
\n\u2022 May be combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty<\/p>\nBallooning of the Nose<\/h3>\n
\nThis obstructs the airflow\u2014affected individuals feel as though they cannot breathe freely through their nose, even though outwardly there are often hardly any visible changes.<\/p>\n
\nIf the nasal septum is too soft or unstable, it cannot withstand this pressure and collapses inward.<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 congenital cartilage weakness
\n\u2022 previous nose surgeries
\n\u2022 age-related loss of stability
\n\u2022 very narrow nose shape<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Difficulty breathing through the nose when inhaling
\n\u2022 Symptoms worsening during exercise or deep breathing
\n\u2022 Feeling of a \u201cstuffy nose\u201d without a cold
\n\u2022 Visible flaring of the nostrils<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Stabilization of the nasal septum with cartilage supports
\n\u2022 Functional rhinoplasty

\n\u2022 Anatomical narrowing of the external nasal valves
\n\u2022 Reduced stability of the nostrils, especially during inhalation
\n\u2022 Subjective sensation of difficulty breathing through the nose
\n\u2022 Increased mouth breathing, especially during physical exertion or while sleeping<\/p>\n
\nRestricted nasal breathing can affect quality of life. Whether a functional disorder is present, and to what extent, varies from person to person and requires evaluation by a specialist. <\/p>\n
\nDuring a medical consultation, we can determine whether functional or functional-aesthetic rhinoplasty is medically appropriate. The goal of such a procedure may be to optimize the structure of the nose and improve nasal breathing. Specific treatment success cannot be guaranteed and depends on individual anatomical conditions.\u2e3b <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.almeida-aesthetic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Nasenklappenstenose-300x155.jpg\")

\nOne could almost say, “Kill two birds with one stone”
\nIf this is not desired, the patient must be informed of this.
\nOne positive aspect is that, along with the desired aesthetic improvement, nasal breathing also improves.<\/p>\n
