Deviated Septum and Rhinoplasty

Concomitant septoplasty and rhinoplasty

It is very common to do both procedures done simultaneously. In fact, it is best to do both procedures at the same time since one can often have a direct effect on the other.

I would recommend consultation with a facial plastic surgeon to have both procedures addressed. (Scott Trimas, MD, Jacksonville Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Septal Deviation and Rhinoplasty Surgery

As has been mentioned already, correcting a deviated septum is commonly performed with rhinoplasty surgery. Given your history and complaints, you very well may have a deviated septum. However, you may have other findings in your nose that could be contributing to your deceased ability to breathe from your left nostril.

If these are not addressed during surgery, you may still have problems with your ability to breathe through your nose. Please make sure you see a surgeon who is highly trained in these procedures so they can perform a meticulous and detailed examination of your nose. (Carlo Honrado, MD, FACS, Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Deviated septum and rhinoplasty

Deviated septum, if present, should definitely be done at the same time when and if a rhinoplasty is also considered. The septoplasty part of the procedure might even be covered by insurance. Choose any experienced rhinoplasty surgeon, particularly facial plastic surgeons, and get more than one consult. (Andrew Pichler, MD, Sacramento Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Correction of your deviated septum should be performed during Rhinoplasty Surgery.

Deviated Septum and nose job

Many patients considering Rhinoplasty Surgery have functional problems that may contribute to nasal obstruction. Your airway and nasal septum should be evaluated by your surgeon during your initial consultation so your functional issues may be properly addressed during your nose job surgery. (Eric M. Joseph, MD, West Orange Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Septoplasty with rhinoplasty

Skilled rhinoplasty surgeons routinely perform both of these procedures together. Often it is required to do so to prevent a breathing problem from occurring. You should not have any difficulty in finding the right surgeon for this. (Michael L. Schwartz, MD, West Palm Beach Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Deviated Septum and Rhinoplasty? Can I Get Them Together?

Certainly. This is called a Septorhinoplasty is is a common combination of procedures. The Surgery takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Be sure your Rhinoplasty Surgeon understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attractive nose and face. (Francis R. Palmer, III, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)

Rhinoplasty with septum, etc. is covered by insurance for crooked noses. These 2 operations are done together in every nose with an airway problem and a cosmetic problem. The nose usually has to be straightened for both the functional and cosmetic issues. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best result.

Rhinoplasty + septoplasty

Rhinoplasty and septoplasty are often performed together in the same setting. This makes a great deal of sense for a number of reasons which your surgeon can review with you. Most experienced rhinoplasty surgeons perform septoplasty although ENT-trained facial plastic surgeons tend to have more experience with correction septal and breathing issues.
