Can rhinoplasty and a breathing problem be planned together?

Outside appearance and inner structure

The outside and inside of the nose are connected. A deviated septum, for example, can cause blockage and can also influence how the nose looks from outside.

What is checked at the examination

Your concerns are heard and the outside and inside of the nose are examined. Further tests may be requested if needed. The aim is to understand the cause of blockage and your aesthetic expectations together.

Planning together

Where appropriate, functional procedures such as septoplasty can be planned together with aesthetic surgery. The decision depends on your examination findings; there is no single rule for everyone.

Clarifying expectations

Telling the doctor what you want to change and what you want to keep at the first meeting helps the plan fit you.
