Healthy breath is taken through the nose
Apart from its aesthetic and visual aspect, the nose is a very functional organ. Healthy breath is taken by nasal breathing. In addition to aesthetic concerns, most of the patients who want to have a nose surgery have complaints of not being able to breathe well, sleeping with open mouth at night, snoring and so on. At the same time, there are situations such as tired awakening and daytime sleepiness that negatively affect living standards. Surgery should be applied to patients who require surgery in order to prevent the troubles experienced from causing an important health problem.
Health should come before aesthetics
In nasal surgeries, the priority is the patient's health. In other words, the priority of a patient who has difficulty in breathing should be to be able to breathe healthy, not aesthetic anxiety.
