Frequently asked questions
Can it be combined with rhinoplasty?
Yes. When the external shape also calls for it, a septorhinoplasty is performed that addresses both function and aesthetics at once.
Does it leave an external scar?
Usually not: the septum is corrected from inside the nose.
Will it improve my breathing?
That is the goal when the obstruction is due to the septum; the degree of improvement is defined during the evaluation.
You do not need to know which procedure you need.
A consultation makes it possible to determine what is changing, what is worth preserving and the most appropriate option for your case.
