Nasal Valve Collapse – Rhinoplasty Sacramento

Having trouble breathing through your nose? You might have a problem called nasal valve collapse, which can be fixed with rhinoplasty Sacramento.

The valves in the nose help for regulating airflow when you breathe. They’re bordered by multiple nasal structures, and when any of these are even slightly out of place, it can affect a person’s breathing.

A nasal valve collapse can sometimes be caused when the cartilage is not in the right position to adequately support the side walls of the nose. This condition is called cephalic malposition of the alar cartilages.

If you want to learn more about what’s causing your nasal valve collapse issues, you should pay a visit to Dr. Thomas Kaniff, a board-certified plastic surgeon with a great deal of surgical skill and experience. Contact our office to create an appointment.
