NASAL ALLERGY

Allergic rhinitis is an illness that produces high impact on the patient?s
health because of the chronic congestion and the facial inflammation it
generates:

1. The patients physiognomy is deeply affected as well as the aesthetics
of his face.
2. The patients quality of life is deeply deteriorated.
3. There is less social, sports, work, intelectual and educational capacity.
4. Sleep is highly affected resulting in snoring, drowsiness and daily fatigue.
5. The patients life expectancy is reduced, which results in less longevity.

The Integral Treatment Program (O+A) has managed to control the symptoms
of Nasal Allergy.

1. It optimizes the partial results coming from Otorhinolaryngology and Alergy
(O+A)
2. It gets them together into a compact group (O+A) to strengthen its achievements.
3.It applies the very latest physiopathological, diagnostic, therapeutical
and
surgical concepts.
4.It uses mini-invasive treatments with laser and radio frequency.
5.As a final result, it controls the symptoms and modifies the evolution
of the illness.

These results are obtained through the practical application of a holistic
rational conception of the illness (from the Greek, HOLOS : the Whole), in
which the Whole is different, more complex and more efficient than the addition
of all the Parts, that make it up.

According to this conception,all failures in traditional treatments could
be the result of using therapeutical tools of two different specialities
- Othorhinolaryngology and Allergy-Inmunology - in an isolated way, instead
of applying a more integral conception (O+A) which can put together ordinary
procedures and which can strengthen the partial results coming from these
two disciplines by means of applying new algorithms, new protocols, new medical-inmunological
and surgical trends; all of them integrated into a solid therapeutical group.

This treatment could be implemeted on its own or used to complement the following
treatments: a) Plastic Surgery. B) Aesthetics Medicine. C) Inmuno-alergy.
D) Clinical
(because of the co-morbidity).

DETERIORATION OF LIFE QUALITY.
It is produced by nasal obstruction and nasal pruritus, watery secretion,
sneezing, chronic coughing, ocular congestion, secretory otitis media with
effusion, dysphonia, migraine, headaches, deafness, dizziness, ageusia and
anosmia ( taste and smelling loss) and a stronger tendency towards infections.

LESS SPORTS, SOCIAL, WORK, INTELECTUAL AND EDUCATIONAL CAPACITY.
Nasal allergy produces insomnia, daily drowsiness, chronic fatigue, irritability,
changes of behaviour, less capacity of concentration and memory, and a decrease
in the kid?s and adolescent?s sociabilization. It may cause chronic sinus,
which according to statistics in USA, is the disease that causes the highest
number of school absentees and it is the most important cause of work dismissal
(31%).

DEEPLY ALTERED PHYSIOGNOMY AND AESTHETICS OF THE ALLERGIC FACE.
The deterioration of nose, eyes, cheeks and upper lip area is shown by allergic
dark circles under the eyes (shines, eyecups), wrinkles of the lower lid
or the ocular doble folding of Dennie-Morgan; deep, small, watery eyes; reddish
cheeks on pale skin and the long, sad face and short upper lip typical of
the allergic character.

It is produced by chronic inflammation, congestion, edema and the typical
thickening of the skin, especially at the nose level, which affects it and
which is sometimes underestimated or it is not solved in time by the plastic
surgeon or the specialist in Cosmetic Surgery.

Successful treatment of Allergic Rhinitis revitalizes and makes the patient's
face look younger because it makes the nasal congestion disappeared as well
as the chronic facial inflammation, the short upper lip produced by respiratory
nasal insufficiency, dark circles, and the ocular alergic foldings and the
rhinoconjuntivitis, perfecting in this way the service offered by the Plastic
Surgery and the Cosmetic Surgery.

REDUCED LIFE EXPECTANCY AND LESS LONGEVITY
It frequently produces sinus and it appears together with bonchial asthma.
When it produces night snoring and sleep apnea, its co-morbidity (the presence
of two independent illnesses in just one individual) comes with arterial
hypertension, diabetes, overweight, obesity and heart attack, which reduces
the allergic?s life expectancies.

ORDINARY RESULTS.
1. Aesthetic changes.
2. Revitalization and facial rejuvenation of the patient?s face.
3. Better life quality.
4. It helps co-existing illnesses.
5. Substantial, especially in resistent previous treatments.
6. Less morbidity. Longer life expectancy; more longevity.
