Nasal Airway EvaluationBoynton Beach, FL

Still can't breathe through your nose?

A nose that always feels blocked may be more than congestion. If sprays or nasal strips only help for a while, your nasal airway or nasal valve may need a closer look.

A blocked nose can show up in daily life

People often describe constant stuffiness, mouth breathing at night, dry mouth, poor sleep, exercise breathing trouble, or needing nasal strips to feel open. Those patterns can point to a nasal airway problem.

Nose always feels blocked
One or both sides feel narrow even when you are not sick.
Nasal strips help
Pulling the side of the nose open or using strips may make airflow feel easier.
Mouth breathing at night
You wake with dry mouth or feel like nasal breathing takes too much effort.
Sprays are not enough
Allergy medicine or decongestants may help briefly without solving the blockage.
The solution

What nasal airway treatment is meant to address

Nasal obstruction can feel like congestion even when the issue is physical narrowing inside the nose. A narrow or weak nasal valve can limit airflow and make normal nasal breathing feel difficult.

For the right patient, treatment is designed to improve nasal airflow by supporting or remodeling the area contributing to blockage. Your specialist can explain whether your anatomy and symptoms match this type of approach.

Procedure Flow
How It Works

A modern care path designed to make the next step clear.

1
Describe the blockage
Share when your nose feels closed, whether strips help, and what treatments you have already tried.
2
Evaluate the airway
Your specialist can look for nasal obstruction, nasal valve collapse, turbinate swelling, or other contributors.
3
Review fitting options
If the nasal valve is part of the problem, an in-office airway treatment such as VivAer may be discussed.
4
Plan the next step
You leave with guidance on whether treatment, medical management, or a different evaluation makes sense.
Why patients choose it

Why patients ask about nasal airway treatment

Less reliance on strips
The goal is to address airflow support instead of depending only on outside nasal strips.
Designed around function
The focus is breathing through the nose, not changing how the nose looks.
In-office path may fit
Some patients may have options that do not start with traditional nasal surgery.
Better next-step clarity
An evaluation can separate obstruction, allergies, sinus issues, and other causes.

Life After Treatment
The goal: easier nasal breathing with the right plan

Patients seek care because they want to stop thinking about every breath, sleep with less mouth breathing, and understand why the nose feels blocked. Results and recommendations depend on the evaluation.

"As a physician myself, the greatest attributes of Dr Brodner are as follows: 1) You know immediately by Dr B’s education diplomas that he is well trained. He also trains other physicians regarding minimally invasive ENT procedures which tells you he sets the standard with technical expertise. Having had the Vivaer procedure, everything was organized, done swiftly and smoothly with great results. He has a very good bed side manner . 2) All staff from secretary, to MA, to PA were pleasant and well trained. 3) Environment : Great location with ample parking, clean office with spacious patient rooms with large windows makes for a calming experience. 4) Always on schedule. Electronic reminders and close attention to scheduling allows for getting right in and out of the office which I value tremendously. Was able to address long standing issues with sinusitis, trouble breathing, and allergy issues in one location. 5 stars!"

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Is my blocked nose just congestion?

Sometimes, but persistent blockage can also come from nasal airway narrowing, nasal valve collapse, turbinate swelling, or other ENT issues. An evaluation helps separate these causes.

Why do nasal strips help me breathe?

Nasal strips can temporarily pull the side of the nose open. If that noticeably improves airflow, your nasal valve may be part of the problem.

Will this change how my nose looks?

Functional nasal airway treatment is focused on breathing. Your specialist can explain what options may fit and what cosmetic changes are not intended.

Do I need traditional nasal surgery?

Not everyone does. Some patients may be candidates for an in-office option, while others need a different plan based on anatomy and symptoms.

What will my nasal airway evaluation include?

At San Diego ENT, a nasal airway evaluation typically includes a review of your breathing symptoms, congestion, allergy or sinus history, prior nasal trauma, and any medications or treatments you’ve tried. Your provider may examine the inside of your nose to look for causes such as inflammation, a deviated septum, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, allergies, sinus infection, or other nasal obstruction. Depending on what they find, they may recommend medical treatment, allergy care, nasal endoscopy, imaging, or a procedure such as turbinate reduction, septoplasty, Balloon Sinuplasty, or sinus surgery to help improve airflow.
