What is Nasal Valve Surgery?
Nasal valve surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to relieve nasal congestion by enlarging the nasal valve area in the nose. Within the scope of this procedure, it is to provide a wider airway by eliminating the narrowing in the nasal valve area. Thus, the nasal valve area is supported with cartilage grafts or tissue transfer and the internal structures of the nose are carefully reconstructed. At the same time, nasal valve surgery is considered within the scope of functional nasal surgery and focuses on enabling the patient to breathe comfortably through the nose. In this process, the edema of the nasal tissues is reduced and the airways are fully opened, so that the patient can breathe more comfortably permanently and provide a significant increase in quality of life.
What is Nasal Valve (Nose Valve) Insufficiency?
Nasal valve collapse is a condition in which the structures that maintain the patency of the nostrils collapse or narrow. This makes breathing difficult and causes respiratory distress. Symptoms of nasal valve collapse include nasal congestion, shortness of breath and snoring. This condition is a health problem that needs to be treated, especially for individuals who have snoring problems at night and whose sleep quality deteriorates.
Nasal valve insufficiency occurs when nasal breathing becomes difficult as a result of weakening, narrowing or collapse of these structures. Especially genetic predisposition, trauma, nasal surgeries or tissue loss due to aging are the main causes of this insufficiency. These causes include not getting enough air through the nose, shortness of breath during exercise, nasal congestion and difficulty in nasal breathing while lying down. Treatment options to improve this condition include surgical interventions to support the nasal valve, cartilage grafts or valve-expanding implants.
How is Nasal Valve Surgery Performed?
Nasal valve surgery is performed under general anesthesia, local anesthesia or sedation. The aim of this surgery is to increase the patency of the narrowed valve angle. Implants or cartilage grafts are used to provide support for the nasal valves. During the surgery, the nasal valves are reshaped and supported. In this way, the nasal structure is re-stabilized and air flow is improved.

Nasal Valve Collapse Surgery and Related Breathing Treatments
Blocked breathing often has more than one cause, and the nasal valve is only one part of the airway. Dr. Hasan Duygulu evaluates the whole nose and offers targeted treatments for each cause.
Septoplasty
Straightens a deviated nasal septum to improve airflow and relieve blocked breathing. Dr. Hasan Duygulu focuses on restoring function while protecting the natural structure of the nose.
Revision Septoplasty
Addresses persistent or recurring breathing problems after a previous septum surgery. Dr. Hasan Duygulu re-evaluates the septum and corrects remaining deviation or structural weakness.
Septal Perforation Repair
Closes a hole in the nasal septum that may cause whistling, crusting or bleeding, sometimes after earlier surgery. Dr. Hasan Duygulu repairs the septum to restore comfortable breathing.
Turbinate Reduction Surgery
Reduces enlarged turbinates that block airflow and cause persistent nasal congestion. It is often combined with septoplasty to improve breathing more completely.
Nasal Stenosis & Cicatricial Stricture
Treats narrowing of the nasal passage caused by scar tissue after surgery, trauma or infection. The goal is to reopen the airway and restore comfortable breathing.
Revision Rhinoplasty
When a previous nose surgery weakened the nasal valve or left the airway narrowed, revision rhinoplasty can restore both structure and breathing. Dr. Hasan Duygulu plans these cases carefully around scar tissue and altered anatomy.
Pinched Nose Tip Surgery
Restores the shape of a narrow or collapsed nasal tip. Dr. Hasan Duygulu rebuilds support to improve appearance and, when needed, relieve breathing difficulty.
Tip Plasty
A focused procedure that reshapes the nasal tip without altering the entire nose. It refines definition, rotation and projection for patients who are bothered only by the tip.
Things To Do Before Nasal Valve Surgery
There are some preparations and things to consider before nasal valve surgery. These are as follows:
- It is important to share your concerns and questions with our team before nasal valve surgery. In this way, you can feel more comfortable before surgery.
- You should not smoke and drink alcohol before surgery. Because your healing process will be negatively affected.
- If there are medications you use regularly, you should share them with our team.
- If you have allergies or a chronic disease, you should inform our team.
Things To DoAfter Nasal Valve Surgery
When you pay attention to the following factors after nasal valve surgery, your recovery process will accelerate. The factors that will speed up your recovery process are as follows:
- Following our recommendations exactly in the postoperative period will positively affect your recovery process. Taking your medication regularly and keeping regular check-ups will speed up your recovery process.

- You should wash your nose with warm water as we recommend.

Dr. Hasan Duygulu’s approach to nasal valve collapse surgery
Nasal valve collapse is a narrowing of the nasal valve, the narrowest part of the airway, which can collapse inward when you breathe in and cause a blocked feeling. It often follows an earlier nose surgery, but it may also result from an injury or from ageing. Dr. Hasan Duygulu, one of the leading nasal valve collapse surgery specialists in Turkey, first examines which part of the valve is weak, because the support that is needed depends on it, and restores that support to open the airway. The septum and the turbinates are evaluated at the same time, because they can narrow the airway together with the valve. The aim is easier breathing, particularly when breathing in.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does nasal valve surgery take?
Nasal valve surgery generally takes 1 hour. However, this time varies according to the scope of the surgery.
Is nasal valve surgery painful?
Nasal valve surgery is not painful. No pain is felt because anesthesia is applied during the operation. There may be a feeling of mild pain or soreness after the operation. However, this feeling does not last long.
How long does it take to recover after nasal valve surgery?
The recovery period after nasal valve surgery takes 2 weeks. However, this period varies from person to person and according to the scope of the surgery.
How to recognize nasal valve stenosis?
Nasal valve stenosis manifests itself with symptoms such as not getting enough air through the nose, constant nasal congestion, collapse of the wings of the nose when breathing, difficulty breathing during exercise and the need to breathe through the mouth. Especially when the sides of the nostrils are gently pressed, breathing becomes easier, which is a clear sign of nasal valve stenosis. In addition, a definitive diagnosis can be made by a doctor’s examination and some endoscopic examinations.
What kind of health problems can nasal valve stenosis cause if left untreated?
Untreated nasal valve stenosis can lead to problems such as sleep apnea due to chronic nasal obstruction, snoring, fatigue due to insufficient oxygen intake and impaired concentration. The habit of breathing through the mouth can cause dry mouth, throat infections and dental problems. In addition, inadequate nasal breathing in the long term can negatively affect lung function and general respiratory health. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important.
