nasal reshaping surgery

Any surgical procedure which changes the shape or function of the nose is termed a rhinoplasty. In some cases at septal rhinoplasty may be performed if there is a problem both with the appearance of the nose as well as the ability to breathe out of the nose. Approximately 20% of nasal septal repair is going to require additional procedures to completely correct the breathing problems that the patient is attempting to restore. This reiterates the importance of the evaluation before surgery to determine the goals and appropriate surgical procedure to perform.
