Do you have a nasal valve collapse?

The nasal valves are critical structures that regulate airflow through the nose and play a major role in nasal breathing. There are two main nasal valves: 1️⃣Internal Nasal Valve – the narrowest part of the nasal airway, located between the septum and the upper lateral cartilage. 2️⃣External Nasal Valve – located at the nostril opening, formed by the lower lateral cartilage and soft tissue. ➡️Their main functions: 💨Regulate airflow: They determine how much air can pass through the nose during breathing. The internal nasal valve, in particular, contributes up to 50–75% of total nasal resistance. 🏠Prevent collapse: The valves help keep the nasal passages open during inhalation, especially under increased airflow (e.g., during exercise). ⬆️Direct airflow: They guide air to flow through the correct channels in the nasal cavity, which supports optimal humidification, filtration, and olfaction (smell). 😮‍💨Impact breathing efficiency: Any narrowing or collapse (due to anatomical issues or inflammation) can lead to mouth breathing, poor sleep, and decreased oxygenation. Nasal valve dysfunction is often a hidden cause of chronic nasal obstruction, snoring, or sleep-disordered breathing, and it’s frequently missed in airway assessments. It’s also a consideration in patients with collapsed nostrils, post-rhinoplasty issues, or chronic congestion.
