While considering a nose job we often get confused between rhinoplasty and septoplasty. While both rhinoplasty and septoplasty involve correction of the nasal structure they are not the same.
The rhinoplasty surgery helps in changing the shape of your nose thereby enhancing your look while ensuring improved breathing through the nose. As we know that both the shape of the nose and ease of breathing are interrelated.
Septoplasty surgery helps to improve breathing by straightening the deviated nasal septum- wall present inside the nose which divides the right and left side of the nasal passages -. Septoplasty is usually done to ensure that you breathe easily from your nose. Generally your doctor may suggest you to couple septoplasty with a rhinoplasty.
