I have ongoing breathing issues due to naturally narrow nasal passages as well as nasal collapsing. I have been putting off surgery suggested by my ENT due to nerves about going under the knife but if I am going to do it I want to go all the way and galvanize my nose a little bit more. Attached are candid photos The first one is my nose currently and the second one is how I edited it. Ideally I would like to have better breathing as well as a nose that is more symmetrical for my profile and cute

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi and thanks for the question! It is hard to promise any kind of results online based off a photo and not knowing the anatomic cause for your nasal breathing problems but I will say I have seen many patients with similar situations have both their nasal breathing improved and the shape of their nose improved in a single surgery with cosmetic results like the one you have shown. I would recommend going to a Facial Plastic Surgeon since they do a residency in ENT so they can make sure to improve the function of your breathing in addition to improve the cosmesis of the shape of your nose. Best of luck!

Answer: Rhinoplasty and breathing With any nasal surgery there is a risk of compromising breathing, especially when one is making the nose smaller. Fortunately, if done carefully, breathing can be maintained if not improved during the surgery. A thorough examination is necessary to see which procedures would be be performed with rhinoplasty to improve breathing.
