Rhinoplasty is a common procedure to change the shape of the nose. Common reasons for a patient to want rhinoplasty is to remove a dorsal hump.
Many patients who have a prominent dorsal hump also have underlying nasal septal deviations or turbinate hypertrophy.
In the same procedure as the rhinoplasty to change the shape of the nose, patients can undergo a procedure to improve their breathing.
