The ENT specialist and rhinoplasty: The ideal choice

If you are considering a nose surgery or a rhinoplasty, or even if you have already had the procedure, you have probably thought about the following factors: How will it affect my face?, Will it look natural?, Who is the best surgeon to perform the operation?

It is perfectly normal to research and seek information before having nose surgery, because the face is probably the most important aspect of our appearance and you should be well informed before making a decision, as with all types of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.

The results of rhinoplasty can be very positive because by reshaping and modifying the nose, the face gains more symmetry, a fundamental factor in the perception of beauty, and the patient will gain in self-esteem. There are many different options and procedures to achieve that symmetry, such as narrowing or lifting the tip or removing the dorsal hump, depending on the case and the patient’s preferences.

Although it is true that other specialists such as plastic surgery or maxillofacial surgery experts can be a good option for nose surgery, today we will discuss the advantages of having rhinoplasty performed by an ENT specialist.

Rhinoplasty with an ENT specialist

In the case of rhinoplasty, nasal function is essential, and it can be altered when operating on the external part if not done properly. The ENT specialist has extensive and precise knowledge of nasal structures, both externally and internally, making them a guarantee for a satisfactory operation, both aesthetically and functionally. The ENT specialist does not only prescribe treatments for ear, nose and throat conditions, but also specialises in aesthetic and reconstructive facial surgery. In fact, there is no specialist with more knowledge of the nose than the ENT surgeon, which is why they are considered the ideal choice for rhinoplasty.

The functional aspect of rhinoplasty is essential because proper function and good breathing contribute enormously to quality of life. But there is an important point that may help you choose an ENT specialist: aesthetic and functional elements cannot be separated, and many patients who decide to have rhinoplasty do not know they also have functional nasal problems. If the functional side is not properly addressed, the patient may experience symptoms that worsen their quality of life, such as difficulty breathing and poor sleep quality, among other issues.

The case filmed on ‘Yo Medico’ (I Am a Doctor), on Canal Sur, with Dr. Munoz-Carinanos, is a good example of a rhinoplasty that requires both aesthetic and functional changes.

The patient, Fali, had been self-conscious about her profile her entire life, had always had breathing problems, and her snoring disrupted her sleep and that of her family. Dr. Munoz-Carinanos was the ENT surgeon on the programme, tasked with creating a beautiful profile for the patient and correcting her breathing problems in the same procedure. At the end of the programme, Fali tells us how rhinoplasty has changed her life for the better in every way — she has not only stopped snoring, but also feels much more confident.
