Rhinoplasty: Q&A

Deviated Septum and Rhinoplasty? Can I Get Them Together?
I broke my nose a few years back. I went to the doctors and I had surgery on it. The doctors mended the bone, but they didn't actually fix my nose. Recently, I noticed I can't breathe very well out of my left nostril. I think I may have a deviated septum. I know deviated septums and rhinoplasty are different things, but is there any way the doctor could straighten my nose during a deviated septum procedure? And if they can't, where can I go to have rhinoplasty? I can't just go to a clinic can I?

Correction of your deviated septum should be performed during Rhinoplasty Surgery.

Hope this helps.

A septoplasty and rhinoplasty can be performed simultaneously and are done quite often in our practice. Septoplasty is performed out of necessity for breathing dynamics through the nose and the procedure is billed to the patient’s medical insurance. Rhinoplasty will take an hour to an hour and a half to perform at the same time under 1 general anesthesia. The patient is responsible for the rhinoplasty cost, as it is an elective cosmetic surgery.
