Rhinoplasty and septoplasty: what's the difference?
Rhinoplasty is a surgery to change the shape of the nose. Because breathing and the shape of the nose are related, sometimes rhinoplasty can be done to not only change the appearance of the nose, but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is a surgery to improve breathing by straightening the wall inside the nose that separates the nasal passages in the right and left sides (nasal septum). When the septum is curved, it makes breathing difficult. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
