Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at changing the size, shape, or proportions of the nose in order to improve both its appearance and function. It can address aesthetic concerns such as a nose that appears too large or too small, a crooked shape, or irregularities (such as a hump or a depression on the nasal bridge), while also helping to alleviate breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities.
Septoplasty, also referred to as nasal septum surgery, is a surgical procedure primarily focused on correcting a deviated nasal septum and improving airway function. It helps address issues such as impaired breathing, frequent nasal congestion, recurrent sinus infections, or snoring, thereby enhancing overall breathing comfort and sleep quality. Unlike rhinoplasty, septoplasty mainly focuses on functional improvement, although in some cases both procedures may be combined.
