A member asked:

Can you do septoplasty and rhinoplasty at the same time?

Yes: In fact they are usually done at the same time. Cartilage taken from the septum is often used to reshape the nasal tip, straighten the nose, or open the airways.

Yes: Yes it is common to do septoplasty with rhinoplasty. Then you can improve both the appearance and function of the nose.

Septorhinoplasty: septoplasty is performed in the context of rhinoplasty very often. Discuss these issues with your surgeon and be sure your surgeon is a board certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise in these procedures.

Hello. No disrespect to the non-ENT trained plastic surgeons out there but if the problem is more breathing and you wish your nose to look different, then my suggestion would be to see an ENT/Facial Plastic Surgeon. If you breathe ok, then it’s ok for any plastic surgeon but ask whoever you choose to make sure they are experienced and can assure your normal breathing will be maintained.
