No: Septorhinoplasty entails reshaping your nose cartilage and/or bones to make the nose look better and more straight. It is still your tissues. Rarely a rhinoplasty will include the placement of an implant, but your doctor would tell you about it prior to surgery.

No: A septorhinoplasty entails making intentional changes to the natural shape and structure of your nose. This is done with incisions inside or potentially on the outside of the nose. Cartiledge is removed, reshaped, or added, and although artificial graft materials can be used, it is not standard.

Sometimes: Sometimes the surgeon will use an implant, usually for support in certain cases. The exception.

Definitely, no: Septorhinoplasty not only improves the cosmetics of the nose, but it removes any internal obstructions that may be blocking breathing through the nose.
