Yes: Rhinoplasty surgery (nose job) can certainly be performed in sinus sufferers. Surgical alteration of the external nose should not materially alter a concurrent sinus condition. It is noteworthy that rhinoplasty can actually be combined with endoscopic sinus surgery. And in fact, rhinoplasty surgery is not uncommonly combined with the surgical correction of the nasal septum and turbinate bones too.

Rhinoplasty: Not treating a sinus infection while performing a rhinoplasty may increase the chance of post-operative infection. Rhinoplasty can usually be performed at the same time as sinus surgery. A recent study suggested that post-operative swelling may last slightly longer when both surgeries are performed simultaneously. Consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Yes: Rhinoplasty and sinus surgery is commonly done together. See a facial plastic surgeon with an ENT background who can do both together.

Rhinoplasty/sinuses: Functional rhinoplasty may help improve your sinus issues. Be sure to have your nose evaluated by a board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon with expertise in nasal surgery.
