Regarding nose job
Sir,
I have a one side blocked nose. A doctor has suggested me to undergo streptoplasty. But I want a better nose along with it. Is that possible?

Hello,
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure done to correct nasal septum. If you have nasal obstruction or blocked nose since long, you may opt for it.
But to correct the appearance of nose , Rhinoplasty is needed. It is a cosmetic procedure. So it can be done only if patient wants it to be done !

Hello.......i think it should be septoplasty.. You might be having deviated nasal septum, doctor will trim it down.. Your nose external structure can be altered, there is possibility It's depends on extent of deviation. Discuss about this with ent specialist. But this surgery doesn't include nose reconstruction.
