Septorhinoplasty, combines the rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedures in order to simultaneously address both breathing issues and aesthetic concerns. Candidates for septorhinoplasty surgery are looking to improve the breathing through their nose at the same time they are addressing their aesthetic concerns and improving their overall facial appearance.

Shared Aspects: Overlapping Goals

Rhinoplasty vs Septorhinoplasy: The goals of these two procedures are often times the same, with the only difference being that the septorhinoplasty combines surgery to correct internal structures such as a deviated septum and rhinoplasty, while rhinoplasty focuses purely on external changes to the nose.

Goals of Septorhinoplasty patients:

• To correct the internal structure of the nose
• Improve the ability to breathe through the nose
• Improve sleep quality
• Improve sense of taste and smell
• To soften the tip of the nose
• To reduce the length and/or height of the nose
• To decrease the size of the nostrils
• To narrow the width of the nose
• To decrease the dorsal hump on the nose
• To decrease the projection of the nose
• To change the angle between the nose and upper lip
• To make the nose appear more aesthetic and improve the overall facial appearance
• To feel more confident
