Could both Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty be done together? (Photo)
RealSelf actual patient comment:
When i consulted an ENT SURGEON, he suggested me to undergo septoplasty, to rectify the curve in my nose since birth. I asked him whether Rhinoplasty be done together, although i want to change my nose shape because it doesn’t suites me. He answered me with a no. Can it be done together?? Thank you
A.Unfortunately your ENT gave you bum advice. Rhinoplasty and septoplasty are performed at the same time more often than not. It sounds as if your particular ENT surgeon is not comfortable performing the aesthetic rhinoplasty portion of a septo-rhinoplasty. Most ENT surgeons are very well trained in both septoplasty and rhinoplasty. As long as you are going under anesthesia to correct your septum, you might as well consult with surgeons who are facile at doing both procedures at the same time. Make sure to choose your nose surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.
