A simple nose surgery can have a major impact on overall health and sleep quality.
Dr. Angela Sturm explains that nasal surgery often improves breathing, increases energy, and enhances rest for many patients. More young people are choosing procedures like rhinoplasty to strengthen both their physical and mental well-being. Even a small issue such as a deviated septum can interfere with restful sleep and daily concentration.

Key Takeaways
-
Nasal surgery (including rhinoplasty and functional procedures) can significantly improve overall health, longevity, sleep quality, energy levels, and general well-being by optimizing breathing. Dr. Angela Sturm emphasizes that many patients seek surgery not just for aesthetics but to feel better physically and mentally.
-
Challenges such as snoring, sleep apnea, and non-optimal breathing can be related to nasal structure issues (e.g., deviated septum, turbinate enlargement). Surgical correction can lead to more efficient breathing during sleep, reducing tiredness and improving daytime focus and energy, even for those without severe sleep disorders.
-
The anatomy of the nose—including the septum, nasal valve, and turbinates—plays a key role in airflow. Small changes, like widening the nasal valve or reducing turbinates, can make a big difference in oxygenation and sleep quality by allowing more physiological breathing patterns.
-
Many patients choose to address functional concerns and cosmetic preferences simultaneously. Procedures like septoplasty and rhinoplasty can be combined for improved breathing and appearance, with minimal downtime and more efficient use of nasal cartilage for shaping the nose.
-
There's an increasing trend of younger patients seeking surgery for holistic health reasons, not just cosmetic enhancement. People are becoming more educated about how breathing, sleep, and nose function influence their overall quality of life, brain function, physical performance, and even senses like smell and taste.
