Nasal congestion, stuffiness, or obstruction to nasal breathing is one of man’s oldest and most common complaints, and is something we have a high degree of success fixing. Surgery to correct nasal airway obstruction is probably the most common procedure we perform.

Some patients can do well by maximizing medical therapies such as nasal rinses and steroid nasal sprays. We can often combine breathing surgery with cosmetic desires (rhinoplasty) .
