Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: What's the Difference?
Rhinoplasty is a surgery to change the shape of your nose. Because breathing and the shape of the nose are interrelated, sometimes rhinoplasty can be performed not only to change the appearance of the nose but also to improve breathing.
Septoplasty is surgery to improve breathing by straightening the wall inside the nose, which separates the nasal passages to the right and left (nasal septum). If the septum is curved, it is difficult to breathe. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
How is a rhinoplasty done?
Nasal correction surgery can be open or closed. The type of surgery is determined individually, depending on the patient's nasal defects.
The closed operation is through internal incisions.

They are carried out in 6 stages:
