Despite the apparent association of nasal airway obstruction with septal deviation and/or
inferior turbinate hypertrophy, increasing clinical evidence suggests that incompetence of …

The size of any nasal airway depends not only on the width and contour of the septal
partition and inferior turbinates but also on the position and stability of the lateral nasal wall …

One of the most difficult aspects in rhinoplasty is resolving and preventing functional
compromise of the nasal valve area reliably. The nasal valves are crucial for the individual …

Objectives To determine the cause of nasal valve obstruction in a series of patients requiring
surgical correction, to evaluate the efficacy of our surgical techniques, and to assess the …

Nasal airway obstruction is frequently synonymous with septal deviation or inferior turbinate
hypertrophy. Less readily appreciated is the fact that the mobile lateral nasal wall caudal to …

Objective: To determine if elective cosmetic septorhinoplasty impacts on nasal air flow
resistance over the long-term. Design: Case series. Mean postoperative follow-up period …

Nasal obstruction can be due to internal and external valve problems that can be seen
before and after rhinoplasty. The main scope of this article is to concentrate on surgical …

Objective: To determine the efficacy of alar batten grafts for the correction of internal and
external nasal valve collapse. Design: In this retrospective study, a questionnaire was used …

Nasal obstruction must frequently be addressed during functional rhinoplasty. Even after a
properly performed septorhinoplasty correcting septal deflection and/or nasal valve …

Objectives To quantify changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal valve after
placement of spreader grafts and flaring sutures and to review clinical outcomes after nasal …
