Nasal Deformities & Breathing Issues: How to Diagnose & Treat Them
Expert Insights from the Best ENT Clinic in Dubai
Nasal deformities affect both appearance and breathing, leading to nasal obstruction, snoring, and sinus infections. Whether caused by genetics, injury, or medical conditions, these deformities can impact quality of life.
At the Best ENT Clinic in Dubai, our expert ENT consultant provides advanced diagnosis and personalized treatment options for nasal deformities. In this guide, we’ll explore the causes, types, symptoms, and treatment options for nasal deformities.
What Are Nasal Deformities?
A nasal deformity refers to structural abnormalities in the nose that affect its shape, function, or both. Some deformities are congenital (present at birth), while others develop due to injuries or medical conditions.
Common signs of nasal deformities include:
✔️ Breathing difficulties
✔️ Frequent nasal congestion
✔️ Snoring & sleep apnea
✔️ Recurrent sinus infections
✔️ Crooked or asymmetrical nose
What Causes Nasal Deformities?
Several factors can contribute to nasal deformities, including:
1. Birth Defects & Genetics
- Some people are born with nasal deformities due to genetic factors.
- Cleft palate, deviated septum, and congenital nasal asymmetry are common.
2. Trauma or Injury
- Nose fractures from accidents, sports injuries, or falls can cause deformities.
- Improper healing after an injury can lead to nasal obstruction.
3. Chronic Medical Conditions
- Chronic nasal infections or allergies can cause tissue changes.
- Inflammatory diseases like granulomatosis can affect nasal structure.
4. Previous Nasal Surgery
- Unsuccessful rhinoplasty or nasal surgeries may lead to breathing issues or asymmetry.
- Revision surgery may be required to correct these problems.
Types of Nasal Deformities
1. Deviated Nasal Septum
A deviated septum occurs when the cartilage and bone inside the nose are misaligned, leading to:
❗ Breathing difficulties
❗ Frequent sinus infections
❗ Snoring & sleep apnea
Treatment: Septoplasty (surgical correction of the septum)
2. Nasal Valve Collapse
This occurs when the nasal walls weaken or collapse, causing:
❗ Severe nasal blockage
❗ Breathing difficulties
❗ Increased snoring
Treatment: Cartilage grafts or minimally invasive nasal surgery
3. Saddle Nose Deformity
A collapsed nasal bridge that creates a concave or flattened appearance. Causes include:
✔️ Trauma or previous surgery
✔️ Infections or autoimmune conditions
Treatment: Rhinoplasty with cartilage grafting
4. Crooked or Asymmetrical Nose
An uneven nasal structure that can be congenital or caused by injury. It may cause:
❗ Breathing issues
❗ Cosmetic concerns
Treatment: Rhinoplasty for functional and aesthetic correction
5. Large or Bulbous Nasal Tip
A wide or rounded nasal tip due to excess cartilage or thick skin.
Treatment: Rhinoplasty (tip refinement surgery)
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Our ENT consultant in Dubai performs a detailed nasal assessment, including:
🩺 Physical Examination – Checking nasal structure & airflow
📸 Nasal Endoscopy – Examining internal nasal passages
Based on the evaluation, we recommend the best treatment approach for your condition.
Treatment Options for Nasal Deformities
1. Non-Surgical Treatments
For mild nasal deformities, non-invasive options include:
✔️ Nasal sprays & medications (for allergy-related issues)
✔️ Nasal strips & breathing exercises (for minor obstructions)
✔️ Filler-based Rhinoplasty (Liquid Rhinoplasty) – Temporary reshaping using dermal fillers
(Note: Our ENT consultant does not perform filler-based rhinoplasty.)
While non-surgical treatments can provide temporary improvements, a consultation with our ENT consultant will help determine the best solution for your concerns.
