Many older rhinoplasty techniques weaken the support structures of the nose and make breathing worse. Unfortunately, many surgeons still perform these types of procedures today. When the support of the nose is compromised it can result in collapse of the breathing apparatus. It is not uncommon for patients to complain of worsened nasal breathing after cosmetic rhinoplasty. It is imperative to see an expert in revision rhinoplasty who understands how to correct these problems and ensure that your breathing improves while achieving the aesthetic goals.
