What to explore at HANA ENT HOSPITAL
HANA ENT offers functional rhinoplasty within its nasal and sinus care services, making breathing and structural assessment central to the consultation. Dr. Sang Duck Lee’s background includes Korea University medical education and University of Pennsylvania rhinoplasty training. Ask what explains your obstruction and which examination is needed before choosing a nasal operation. If you also want a cosmetic change, ask whether the proposed functional operation includes it and who would perform that part. A useful question to bring to your appointment is: “Which ENT surgeon handles functional rhinoplasty in my case?” Also ask: “What diagnosis explains my obstruction and how will it be assessed?”
