Introduction
Are you experiencing breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or dissatisfied with the shape of your nose? Both functional and cosmetic nasal concerns can cause congestion, snoring, sinus infections, and impact your confidence and quality of life.
Septorhinoplasty is a specialized procedure that corrects internal nasal blockages while enhancing the external shape of the nose. It combines septoplasty for improved airflow and rhinoplasty for reshaping. Performed by Dr. Milan Doshi, a leading rhinoplasty surgeon in Mumbai, this surgery helps patients breathe easier, look better, and feel more confident.
What is Septorhinoplasty?
Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines:
- Septoplasty: Straightening or correcting a deviated septum.
- Rhinoplasty: Aesthetic reshaping of the nose.
It improves both nasal function and facial harmony.
Other terms for this procedure include functional rhinoplasty, deviated septum surgery with rhinoplasty, and nasal reshaping with septal correction.
