Internal Nasal Valve Collapse Treatment by Endonasal Hyaluronic Acid Injection.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Internal nasal valve collapse (IVC) is a common functional complication of rhinoplasty and injecting hyaluronic acid is one of the treatment options available, but its effectiveness has never been evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess the evolution of IVC after injection of hyaluronic acid using objective and subjective measures of nasal obstruction.

Study design

A prospective interventional study was conducted.

Methods

Adult patients consulting for nasal obstruction after (septo)rhinoplasty and diagnosed with IVC were included. Patients underwent 4-phase rhinomanometry, completed nasal obstruction symptoms evaluation (NOSE) and visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires and received hyaluronic acid injections. Measurements were repeated immedia
