I have had sinus issues in the past. An MRI revealed a concha bullosa. Do you think I need surgery for this? I also have always wanted rhinoplasty. Can I do the two surgeries together?

Answer: Sinus surgery can safely be done at the same time as a rhinoplasty Sinus surgery can safely be done at the same time as a rhinoplasty and this includes a limited sinus surgery like removing concha bullosa that may be contributing to sinus issues. Some surgeons will even discount the cost of the cosmetic rhinoplasty when you have a functional surgery in conjunction with it. This is something that we and many other surgeons will commonly do so if you are thinking of having a rhinoplasty, you can usually save on the surgical fees as well as have one recovery session. As far as whether or not you need the concha bullosa treated typically depends on whether or not you are having symptoms of nasal obstruction, pressure or chronic sinusitis. I hope this information helps.
