Medical vs Cosmetic Rhinoplasty: What’s the Difference?

Rhinoplasty is not always about looks — sometimes it’s about breathing better. At Dr. Dangs Maternity & Plastic Surgery Clinic, Dr. Shivam Dang offers both cosmetic and medical rhinoplasty, depending on patient needs.

Cosmetic Rhinoplasty:

Focuses on enhancing the shape, size, and overall aesthetic appearance of the nose. Common concerns include:

  • Hump on the bridge
  • Bulbous tip
  • Wide nostrils
  • Asymmetry

Medical (Functional) Rhinoplasty:

Performed to improve breathing or correct internal nasal defects such as:

  • Deviated nasal septum
  • Enlarged turbinates
  • Nasal valve collapse

Combined Benefits:

In many cases, both cosmetic and medical corrections are done in a single surgery — improving both looks and function.

Dr. Shivam Dang ensures that the aesthetic results never compromise breathing ability. His goal is to give you a nose that looks good, feels comfortable, and functions perfectly.
