Nose Surgery for Breathing Problems

I have found that using computer imaging for rhinoplasty patients is an excellent teaching tool and helps allay a lot of fears patients have about "looking different" after surgery. I would suggest finding a physician who offers this during the rhinoplasty consultation to make sure you both are on the same page before your surgery.

A septoplasty and/or rhinoplasty can help improve your breathing and does not have to be performed in a manner that changes your profile or look. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

Rhinoplasty will likely change the shape of your nose. The key to a successful outcome is your communication with your facial and nasal plastic surgeon. Make sure that your physician and his/her team performs a full internal and external nasal evaluation, and that all of your options and concerns are discussed in details prior to surgery.
