Airway + Contouring: Septorhinoplasty involves straightening the nasal septum (divides the nasal passage into two equal sides). If the nose appears crooked (this may also contribute to breathing difficulty) or it is too large or lacks desired definition re-shaping of the nose is performed to improve appearance and/or function.
