The nose is composed of intricate intranasal anatomy to serve its sophisticated functions. Although it only occupies a small area, it is the central focal point of the face and demands the highest level of understanding of the delicate interplay of form and function. Functional rhinoplasty, as opposed to aesthetic rhinoplasty, primarily aims to enhance nasal breathing and olfaction without altering the nose's appearance. The goal of this study is to describe the anatomy and physiology of the nose as well as the pathophysiology of nasal obstruction and the surgical approaches available for functional rhinoplasty. Whether when performed alone or combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty, functional rhinoplasty is a procedure that can bring significant benefits and improve the quality of life of our patients. Understanding nasal anatomy and physiology is key for successful management and outcomes. To provide optimal treatment for the patients, plastic surgeons must be familiarized with various techniques that have been documented.
鼻子由复杂的鼻腔解剖结构组成，以实现其复杂的功能。尽管它只占据面部的一小部分区域，但却是面部的中心焦点，需要对形态与功能之间微妙的相互作用有最高水平的理解。与美容隆鼻术不同，功能性隆鼻术主要旨在改善鼻腔通气和嗅觉，而不改变鼻子外观。本研究的目的是描述鼻子的解剖学和生理学，以及鼻塞的病理生理学和功能性隆鼻术可用的手术方法。无论是单独进行还是与美容隆鼻术联合进行，功能性隆鼻术都是一种能够带来显著益处并改善患者生活质量的手术。了解鼻腔解剖学和生理学是成功治疗和取得良好效果的关键。为了为患者提供最佳治疗，整形外科医生必须熟悉已记录的各种技术。
