Rhinoplasty is basically a surgery to change the structure of the nose, which can be done to improve the function or aesthetics of the nose. Rhinoplasty to improve the function of the nose, which is also called the repair of the nasal passage, consists of smoothing the cartilage and dividing bone inside the nose (blade) to improve breathing and relieve nasal congestion, as well as smoothing the side walls of the nose. Cosmetic rhinoplasty is the change of the external structure of the nose to improve the balance and appearance of the face.

In cases where a patient uses surgery for the first time to change the structure of his nose (primary rhinoplasty), the probability of the operation being successful is higher. A secondary rhinoplasty can be used when an additional surgery is needed to correct the appearance of the nose or to further improve breathing.

Why do you need rhinoplasty?

There are several reasons for a person to choose rhinoplasty. Allergies, nasal trauma, or congenital malformation of the nasal septum can cause nasal airway obstruction. People choose cosmetic rhinoplasty because of injury or dissatisfaction with the shape of their nose.
