How Do Blocked Airways Affect Your Life?

Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) occurs when something blocks the normal air flow in your nose. This blockage can happen in several places within your nasal passages. Your septum may be crooked (deviated), your sinus lining could be swollen, or your nasal valves may have collapsed, making breathing through your nose difficult or impossible. Many people with nasal obstruction breathe through their mouth, which leads to dry throat, poor sleep, and daytime fatigue.

Modern technology offers several effective procedures we can perform in our office. Each treatment targets different causes of nasal obstruction with minimal discomfort to improve your nasal airways. Recovery times are typically short, and most patients return to normal activities quickly. Learn more about what we can offer you in our office, including:

Nasal Septoplasty

A deviated nasal septum happens when the wall dividing the left and right nasal cavities is crooked or displaced, a common cause of long-term nasal blockage. Nasal septoplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct this issue. The surgeon adjusts or removes the cartilage and bone obstructing airflow during the operation. By realigning the septum, nasal passages are permanently opened, improving breathing and providing significant relief for those with severe deviations that interfere with daily life.

Nasal Septoplasty FAQs

A nasal septoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects a deviated nasal septum, helping improve air flow through the nasal passages. The surgery often involves removing or reshaping cartilage and bone from the septum to straighten it. Sometimes, silicone splints are placed after the procedure to support healing. Recovery includes avoiding intense activities for around a week to ensure proper healing and reduce complications in your nasal cavities.

A nasal septoplasty offers lasting improvement for patients with breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum. By eliminating the obstruction, most patients experience a significant improvement in airflow and overall nasal function, greatly improving their day-to-day comfort and quality of life. Studies show even better relief from nasal symptoms when combined with an inferior turbinate reduction. Whether performed alone or with other treatments, nasal septoplasty helps restore effective and consistent breathing.

At Cross Timbers ENT, our team provides personalized care for nasal obstructions, focusing on the best solutions for each patient. We know septoplasty is not always the answer. While it can help in specific cases, it often involves more pain and recovery time. That’s why we offer advanced office-based treatments that are effective and less invasive. Patients trust us for many modern options to restore better breathing without unnecessary procedures.

Turbinate Reduction

Turbinates are key in filtering the air you breathe, ensuring it is clean before reaching your lungs. When the inferior turbinates enlarge, they block airflow and cause chronic nasal congestion. This swelling often results from environmental triggers and can make breathing difficult. While medications may provide temporary relief, persistent problems may require a turbinate reduction procedure. This approach reduces the size of swollen turbinates while preserving their natural ability to filter air.

Turbinate Reduction FAQs

A turbinate reduction is a procedure to help improve breathing by reducing the size of the inferior turbinates inside the nose. These structures often swell due to allergies or irritants, causing nasal obstruction. The procedure involves shrinking or removing tissue to limit swelling. It can be performed with tools like radiofrequency or microdebriders, often with minimal discomfort. Recovery is typically quick, with most people returning to normal activities within a few days.

Turbinate reduction significantly improves nasal airflow by addressing obstructions caused by swollen turbinates. When combined with other procedures like nasal septoplasty, patients can experience better results. The treatment is quick, with minimal discomfort during recovery, and is completed in our office. Many individuals report a dramatic and lasting improvement in their ability to breathe through their nose. This procedure is a long-term solution, relieving nasal congestion and improving quality of life.

Patients come to Cross Timbers ENT with nasal issues such as turbinate hypertrophy, which is commonly diagnosed but rarely the sole cause of discomfort. Our team focuses on providing a thorough evaluation to uncover the root cause of your nasal obstruction. By combining advanced technology with personalized care, we ensure you receive effective, long-lasting solutions. From turbinate reductions to a full range of modern options, we’re here to help you breathe easier and feel better.

RhinAer® Procedure for Chronic Rhinitis

The RhinAer® procedure is a breakthrough option for individuals struggling with chronic rhinitis. This condition often causes persistent symptoms like a runny nose, nasal congestion, and post-nasal drip. RhinAer® works by addressing the root cause—overactive nerve signals. The procedure is done in our office, doesn’t need incisions, and provides lasting relief. By calming the nerves responsible for excess mucus production, RhinAer® effectively reduces key symptoms in one simple treatment.

What Is the RhinAer® Technology?

RhinAer® technology uses a specialized handpiece called the RhinAer® stylus that delivers low-temperature radiofrequency (RF) energy to nasal tissues. This approach targets the posterior nasal nerve (PNN), which triggers rhinitis symptoms. By treating these nerve fibers and addressing congestion-causing structures, RhinAer® provides relief from persistent nasal drainage and blockage. This innovative procedure offers dual benefits for those struggling with chronic nasal issues.
