| Sumario: | Nasal airway obstruction is a very common reason for reduced quality of life. For decades, nose surgeons have applied multiple techniques with little or partial success. Since 2003, the Titanium Breathe-Implant widens and stabilizes the internal nasal valve with a long-term success rate of 90% approval by the patients. Since 2017, the Titanium Batten Grafts widen and stabilize the external nasal valves. Combination of these grafts is possible. Quality of life improves, snoring is reduced, and acceptance of possible CPAP masks are proofs of the patient’s widened nasal airway. Surgical techniques of open and closed rhinoplasty techniques are presented. |
