Rhinoplasty can indeed correct a deviated septum, which is a common cause of nasal obstruction and breathing difficulties. During the rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon can address the deviated septum by straightening and repositioning it, allowing for improved airflow and better nasal function. It’s important to consult with a skilled plastic surgeon who specializes in both functional and aesthetic nasal surgery to ensure a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan that addresses both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the nose.

How soon can I wear glasses after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing glasses directly on the nose for a few weeks to allow for proper healing and minimize any potential pressure on the surgical site. Your surgeon may provide you with alternative options such as using tape or a special splint to secure the glasses without putting pressure on the nose. It is important to follow your surgeon’s specific instructions to ensure optimal healing and the best results.

Will I need to have my nose packed after rhinoplasty?
In most cases, nasal packing is not necessary after rhinoplasty. However, your surgeon may decide to place small nasal splints or soft silicone sheets inside your nose to support the nasal structures during the initial healing phase. This is typically removed within a week or two after surgery, and your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions on how to manage the post-operative care and follow-up appointments.
