Can my nose be made smaller at the tip, bump lessened and breathing improved with septoplasty? (Photo)

Hi @Optimistic4434! Based on your concerns, you will require a septo-rhinoplasty. The septoplasty helps to improve breathing and the airway. The rhinoplasty part can help remove the dorsal hump and to reduce the tip.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes, rhinoplasty can help reduce a nasal bump and refine the nasal tip. Septoplasty, on the other hand, can fix a crooked or deviated septum, allowing for better airflow through the nose to help improve breathing. To determine your eligibility for these procedures (rhinoplasty and septoplasty are both very complex procedures), I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. These experts not only have a deep understanding of the nose and its functional and aesthetic elements, but they will have an eye for facial symmetry too. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your nose, recommend the best course of action to address your concerns and goals, use digital photography to show projected results, and help ensure the best possible outcome.

Rhinoplasty and septoplasty: septoplasty is a procedure to improve the airway. portions of a septoplasty are also performed to make a straighter appearance to the nose in the frontal and basal views. Removal of a dorsal hump and reduction of the size of the nasal tip are part of a cosmetic rhinoplasty. The two procedures are often performed simultaneously in people who wish to improve both the appearance of their nose and the airway.
