The ‘nose job’, or rhinoplasty, is a common procedure for people who aspire to enhance their overall facial appearance. But not all nose surgeries are designed for achieving a better look. In fact, **[Functional Nasal Surgery](

## What Is Functional Nasal Surgery?

Most people with breathing problems grapple with it for years. Some don’t even realize that it is a medical problem. Possibly the major reason for breathing problems is a deviated septum.

The nasal septum is the wall that separates the two nasal passages. When the septum is crooked, it results in irregular airflow in the nasal passages. This induces airflow difficulties in the smaller passage. 

Although it may seems like a minor problem the after-effects can be severe. A simple Plastic Surgery procedure will get rid of this problem, making your life easier.

Here are certain ways in which a Functional Nasal Procedure or Septoplasty can be a change your life:

## Easier Breathing

The most obvious benefit after the Functional Nasal Procedure is that your breathing will become easy and normal. In fact, the smoothened passages open up space so that air can flow inside with ease. Plus, an increase in oxygen intake thanks to this surgery will enhance your quality of life.

## Diminished or Eliminated Snoring

While that’s true everyone snores from time to time, individuals with a deviated septum will snore more frequently.  This is attributable to restricted movement of air in the nasal passages. As a consequence nasal congestion from this deviation can trigger loud breathing and exaggerated snoring. Often, Septoplasty can resolve this condition.

## Enhanced Quality of Sleep

In some severe cases connected with deviation of the septum, people may experience a disorder called sleep apnea. In this condition a person stops breathing for a few moments, often many times in an hour. The restricted oxygen intake gives rise to poor quality of sleep that, in turn, influences your energy levels and overall quality of life.

In certain cases, because of the limited oxygen intake, the heart needs to work much harder to ensure that enough oxygen reaches the vital organs. This can engender blood pressure shoot ups and can bring on serious heart problems and possibly even heart failure.
Septoplasty is the go-to procedure that helps treat sleep apnea patients with a deviated septum.

## Abate Headaches and Sinus Infections

Because of the built-up pressure from irregular nasal passages, individuals with a deviated septum endure regular headaches, sinus irritation, fluid discharge, not to mention nosebleeds.

These individuals tend to be more susceptible to allergies as well.  This is because of the constricted space for air to flow as the nose finds it hard to expel dust and dirt. Anyways, a Functional Nasal Surgery can help minimize or abate these minor issues, making life a more enjoyable experience.

### Enhanced Physical Activity

It’s too obvious that uninterrupted airflow makes it easier for the body to perform physical activities. So, many individuals with a deviated septum tend to run out of breath faster while exercising than those with a non-deviated septum. 

Surely, a Septoplasty facilitates the opening-up of nasal passages and allows for better air circulation thus helping build stamina and endurance during physical activity. After undergoing functional rhinoplasty, you will see a boost in oxygen intake and improvements in workouts and physical activity, while your body gets the energy to operate with peak efficiency.

### The Sum Up

While most individuals only hear from others about how transformational a Septoplasty procedure can be, they only realize the magnitude of transformation once they have undergone it themselves.
