Abstract
The complete rhinoplasty surgeon must possess an understanding of functional nasal airway obstruction. An increasingly sophisticated grasp of the pathophysiology of fixed nasal obstruction has led surgeons to develop and refine surgical techniques aimed toward alleviating nasal valve insufficiency. This article reviews an assortment of techniques within nasal valve surgery, highlighting the underlying pathophysiology, anatomy, and technical considerations.
