Septorhinoplasty combines nasal reshaping with assessment and correction of the septum when appropriate. The plan should distinguish structural breathing problems from other causes of congestion, including allergy.
A combined assessment
The external framework and internal airway influence each other. The consultation should identify which concerns relate to appearance and which relate to airflow. Tell the surgeon about allergies, previous injuries, surgery and regular medicines.
After the operation
Swelling, crusting and temporary supports can cause early congestion. Follow the prescribed care plan and attend reviews. Persistent or worsening symptoms should be assessed rather than assumed to be normal healing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between septoplasty and septorhinoplasty?
Septoplasty corrects the internal septum; septorhinoplasty combines this with reshaping the outside of the nose.
Will my allergies improve after surgery?
Surgery treats structural obstruction. Allergy is a medical condition that usually needs separate treatment.
How long is recovery?
Expect a splint for about a week, bruising that fades over two weeks and gradual settling of shape over months.
Is septorhinoplasty covered by insurance?
The functional part may be covered depending on your policy; the cosmetic part usually is not.
