In the past, a lot of famous people, like Jennifer Aniston, have said that they needed a nose job to fix a breathing problem. A deviated septum, which is a constriction of the nasal channel, is the root cause of the problem. It can make it hard to breathe. A deviated septum is caused by the cartilage and/or bone in the area between the nostrils being crooked or not in the middle.
A deviated septum can be a small problem or a big one, depending on how bad the misalignment is. It can make it hard to breathe. Most people don’t even know it, but it’s thought that about 79% of people have some level of misalignment.
So, rhinoplasty, or cosmetic nose surgery, should fix problems caused by a deviated septum, right? Not right…
Rhinoplasty In Dubai
Rhinoplasty in Dubai is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape, enhance, and improve the appearance and function of the nose. It can address cosmetic concerns such as a crooked, wide, or disproportionate nose, refine the nasal tip, straighten the bridge, or adjust nostril size and shape to create facial harmony. Beyond aesthetics, rhinoplasty can correct functional issues like a deviated septum, collapsed nasal valves, or breathing difficulties, improving airflow and overall nasal function. The procedure is tailored to each patient’s facial features and desired outcomes, ensuring natural-looking results. Recovery typically involves a few weeks of mild swelling and bruising. With expert surgical care, rhinoplasty in Dubai provides long-lasting improvements that enhance both appearance and confidence.
Septoplasty vs. Rhinoplasty
Septoplasty is an entirely separate type of surgery that is needed to fix a deviated septum. This surgery transfers or removes bone and cartilage from the space between the nostrils to fix misalignment and let you breathe again. Depending on how big the surgery is, soft packing material or internal splints may need to be put in the nose to hold the septum in place while it heals.
Rhinoplasty is a very different surgery that changes the size and contour of the nose. Incisions are made inside the nostrils during rhinoplasty. A small, hidden cut is sometimes made across the columella, which is the skin that divides the nostrils. This type of rhinoplasty is called “external” or “open” rhinoplasty when there is a columella incision. When there is no columella incision, it is called “endonasal” or “closed” rhinoplasty. The cartilage and bone that make up the nose are reshaped as needed once the soft tissues are separated from them.
You can have septoplasty done as an outpatient procedure with either local or general anesthesia, just like rhinoplasty. Most people heal in one to two weeks, and the operation normally takes one to two hours.
Many health insurance plans will pay for septoplasty because it is a medically essential treatment. Rhinoplasty, on the other hand, is a cosmetic operation that is done only to make the nose look better.
Septorhinoplasty: Best of Both Worlds
Rhinoplasty can’t fix a deviated septum, but it can be done with septoplasty. People often call the two surgeries together a septorhinoplasty. Patients who get both of these operations will be able to breathe better and have a better-looking nose. It makes sense for patients to have both surgeries at the same time since they can save money by splitting the costs of the facility, surgeon, and anesthetic between the two treatments (with insurance covering septoplasty).
Another good thing about adding septoplasty to a rhinoplasty is that it doesn’t make the recovery period longer for the patient. Most people who have a septorhinoplasty can go back to their typical physical activities within two weeks.

Functional Rhinoplasty: A New Concept in Nasal Surgery
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between septoplasty and rhinoplasty when the nose is crooked or stenotic, which means it doesn’t look correct or perform effectively. Functional rhinoplasty is necessary in these situations. The surgeon must straighten the septum, free the airways, and straighten the nose. The bridge of the nose is the top of the septum of a crooked nose. The septum can’t be straightened if it’s crooked without also correcting the nose.
Sometimes the septum is straight, but the airways are tiny, making it hard to breathe. This makes matters even more complicated. Usually, the constriction is caused by stenosis of the internal and/or external nasal valves. Nasal valve surgery is necessary to open the nasal valves. This is usually done by adding stabilizing grafts from the patient’s septum, ear, or, in really bad cases, rib. This is also a part of the idea of functional rhinoplasty.
A modern rhinoplasty professional can accurately figure out what the problems are and what will fix them. Few patients can precisely figure out what they need to do to reach their cosmetic and functional goals. A thorough look at the inside and outside of the nose, followed by setting realistic goals for surgery, lays the foundation for satisfying outcomes that make patients happy.
How Do I Know If I Have a Deviated Septum?
The majority of individuals do not observe a minor deviated septum because it does not result in any complications. Breathing difficulties and other complications that affect the quality of sleep may result from a more severe deviated septum.
The subsequent symptoms may serve as indicators of a deviated septum:
- Breathing difficulties through one or both nostrils
- Nasal obstruction that occurs frequently
- Nasal pressure
- Headache
- Headaches that occur frequently
- Nasal infections that recur on
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
These symptoms should be reported to a physician by individuals who are experiencing them. A fiber-optic nasal endoscopy can be conducted by Dr. Perfect Celebrity to visualize the nasal passages, ascertain the septum’s position, and verify whether or not it is deviated.
Can a Rhinoplasty Alone Correct a Deviated Septum?
No, a rhinoplasty can only alter the external aspect of the nasal bridge and other nasal structures.
Rhinoplasty is primarily a cosmetic procedure. Although a rhinoplasty can be performed to address a congenital condition or reconstruct after an injury, the surgery is not specifically designed to address the deviated septum.
The Combined Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty Surgery
Dr. Perfect Celebrity has the ability to modify the septum’s shape, position, or removal as needed. The procedure is tailored to resolve obstructions, enhance respiration, and resolve other complications associated with the deviated septum.
The septal cartilage that is extracted during the septoplasty can be utilized to make aesthetic adjustments during the rhinoplasty.

Why Combine the Two Surgeries?
In the event that patients with a deviated septum desire to enhance the aspect of their nose, it is logical to conduct the two surgeries concurrently rather than sequentially. The complexity of a rhinoplasty following a septoplasty is significantly increased due to the absence of septal cartilage. Rather, cartilage transplants will need to be extracted from the ear.
The surgical procedure is significantly simplified by combining the procedures. Furthermore, patients will not be required to undergo and recover from two distinct surgical procedures.
The Results and Benefits of the Procedure
The combined septoplasty and rhinoplasty procedure enables patients to undergo the following:
- Enhanced respiratory function: This procedure improves airflow through the nasal passages by correcting structural blockages, allowing patients to breathe more comfortably and experience better nasal function during daily activities and exercise.
- Reduced respiratory activity during sleep: By opening narrowed nasal passages, the procedure helps reduce breathing difficulties during sleep, which may decrease snoring and improve overall sleep quality and nighttime comfort.
- Face discomfort alleviation: Correcting nasal structural problems can relieve pressure, congestion, and sinus-related discomfort, helping patients feel more comfortable and reducing headaches or facial pain caused by blocked nasal passages.
- Enhanced visual appeal: The procedure reshapes the nose to create better facial balance and harmony, improving overall appearance while maintaining natural features and boosting confidence in personal and social interactions.
Rhinoplasty can enhance the overall aesthetics of the face by introducing a greater sense of proportion or symmetry to the patient’s facial features.
