Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: What is the difference?
Rhinoplasty is a surgery to change the shape of the nose. Since breathing and nasal shape are interrelated, sometimes rhinoplasty can be performed not only to change the appearance of the nose, but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is a surgery to improve breathing by straightening the wall inside the nose that separates the nasal passages into right and left sides (nasal septum). When the septum is curved, it makes breathing difficult. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
Nasal correction surgery can be opened or closed. The type of surgery is determined individually depending on the patient’s nasal defect.
The closed operation is performed through an internal incision.
