Functional Nasal Surgery
Improve breathing and function with specialist ENT care.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Functional Nasal Surgery?
Functional Nasal Surgery is performed to improve the function of the nose by correcting structural problems that restrict airflow and make breathing difficult. Unlike cosmetic rhinoplasty, the primary goal of functional nasal surgery is to restore normal nasal function, relieve chronic obstruction, and improve quality of life.
The procedure may involve correcting a deviated nasal septum, repairing collapsed nasal valves, reducing enlarged turbinates, or addressing other structural abnormalities that affect breathing. Functional Nasal Surgery is often recommended for patients who experience persistent nasal blockage, difficulty breathing through the nose, chronic congestion, snoring, or breathing problems following injury.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced ENT specialists develop a personalised treatment plan to improve nasal function while preserving or enhancing the natural appearance of your nose where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What conditions can Functional Nasal Surgery treat?
Functional Nasal Surgery can treat breathing problems caused by a deviated septum, nasal valve collapse, enlarged turbinates, previous injury, and other structural abnormalities that restrict airflow.
Is Functional Nasal Surgery the same as cosmetic rhinoplasty?
No. Functional Nasal Surgery is performed primarily to improve breathing and restore normal nasal function. In some cases, cosmetic refinements may be combined with functional surgery if appropriate.
Will my appearance change?
Most functional procedures are designed to preserve the natural appearance of your nose. If external changes are expected, your consultant will discuss these with you before surgery.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to normal daily activities and work within one to two weeks. Swelling inside the nose continues to improve over the following weeks, and your surgeon will advise when it is safe to resume exercise.
