- Correction of a birth defect
- Removal of the nasal lump

Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty: What is the difference?
Rhinoplasty is an operation to change the shape of the 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 an operation to improve breathing by directing the wall inside the nose that separates the nasal passages on the right and left side (nasal septum). When the septum is curved, it makes it difficult to breathe. Septoplasty is often combined with rhinoplasty.
How is rhinoplasty performed?
The nose correction operation can be open or closed. The type of surgery is determined individually depending on the patient's nasal defects.
Closed operation is performed through internal incisions.
