Can a rhinoplasty be combined with functionality to fix narrow airways? (Photo)

Hello! First of all thank you for your question. I have evaluated your case regarding the information you shared and your photos. Of course rhinoplasty operation should be in combination with septoplasty operation at the same time and nasal passages should be improved. All or nothing law is valid in nose surgeries, it is necessary to correct all or not touch the inner and outer nasal problems in the same session. Your nose is big and can be shortened, narrowed, alar base can be reduced and tip rotation needs to be raised but your skin is somewhat thick which the downtime would be longer than expected.

Making the nose smaller is one of the most common changes made during a cosmetic rhinoplasty. Reduction rhinoplasty can come at a cost of sacrificing some degree of nasal breathing, so go to a surgeon who discusses this with you as well as ways to preserve as much airflow as possible.

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Septorhinoplasty combines a rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedure to correct aesthetic and functional nasal concerns simultaneously. Septoplasty can correct your narrow airways to alleviate breathing problems, while rhinoplasty can create a shorter, more narrow appearance.
It’s important to keep in mind that rhinoplasty and septoplasty are some of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in septorhinoplasty techniques. They will be able to review your concerns and determine the best course of action.
