I had a consultation in which the dr. Said I had narrow airways, I believe he's more of an aesthetic dr. Can a rhinoplasty be combined with functionality to fix narrow airways? I'm looking for shorts more narrow nose. Overall smaller

Answer: Septorhinoplasty Hello, Yes rhinoplasty surgery can address the aesthetic and functional part at the same time. It is better to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and find out the reason of your narrowed airway.

Answer: Septo-rhinoplasty Hi @qwert678! Thank you for sending your photos. The answer is yes. A septoplasty is a procedure to improve the airway and 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 together in people who wish to improve both the appearance of their nose and the airway. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
