My nose feels stuffy on one side all the time despite not having a cold. When I look inside my nose it seems to be uneven on one side. Could this be causing the stuffy feeling and wheezing sound when I breathe? Also, would insurance cover this procedure?

Answer: Rhinoplasty should improve breathing, not make it worse Positional issues with the nose can be just as important, if not more important than septal deviations in breathing problems. In a well performed rhinoplasty, removal of material is balanced with structural replacement, creating symmetry, strength and longevity to the result. In making these types of interventions, breathing is often enhanced after reductive Rhinoplasty surgery. From your photos, it appears that you have deviation to the bony bridge, nasal valve collapse on both sides of your nose, as well as a deviated septum. A functional improvement should be possible through comprehensive nasal surgery, rather than septoplasty alone.
