Understanding Rhinoplasty and Deviated Septum Issues
A deviated septum happens when the wall dividing your nostrils sits off-center. This can lead to blocked airflow, chronic congestion, sinus infections, or noisy breathing at night. Many patients seek rhinoplasty and deviated septum correction not only to enhance their appearance but to finally breathe comfortably.
At Aspen Facial Plastics, Dr. Amir Allak specializes in combining cosmetic reshaping with functional correction—ensuring your nose looks balanced while performing at its best.
What Are Nasal Turbinates—and Why They Matter in Breathing
Inside your nose are small, curved structures called nasal turbinates. These bony shelves are covered in soft tissue and are responsible for:
- Filtering airborne debris and allergens
- Warming and humidifying the air you breathe
- Directing airflow smoothly through your nasal passages
When these structures become enlarged (a condition known as turbinate hypertrophy), they can cause significant blockage. Even if your septum is repaired, enlarged turbinates may still limit airflow.
This is where reducing nasal turbinates, also known as turbinate reduction, becomes an important part of treatment. Dr. Amir Allak carefully reduces turbinate size while preserving their essential function—helping you breathe freely without compromising nasal health.
Why Turbinate Reduction Is Often Combined With Rhinoplasty
For many patients undergoing Utah rhinoplasty, turbinate reduction is performed at the same time as septum correction. Combining these procedures:
- Maximizes long-term breathing improvement
- Prevents lingering congestion after surgery
- Supports the aesthetic goals of rhinoplasty by ensuring proper airflow
- Addresses both cosmetic and functional needs in one procedure
By pairing rhinoplasty and deviated septum correction with turbinate reduction, patients experience a smoother recovery and more complete results.
What to Expect During Utah Rhinoplasty With Turbinate Reduction
At Aspen Facial Plastics, every surgical plan is custom-designed. During your consultation, Dr. Amir Allak will assess your nasal structure, septum alignment, and the condition of your turbinates. Your personalized plan may include:
- Aesthetic reshaping to create balanced, natural facial harmony
- Septum straightening to restore proper airflow
- Reducing nasal turbinates to clear blocked passages
- A recovery window of about 1–2 weeks for most swelling and bruising
