I’m scheduled to undergo a septoplasty due to a crooked septum, which has been affecting my breathing. Additionally, I have a rare condition where my nostrils collapse inward when I breathe heavily, preventing me from getting sufficient air. This issue will be addressed with an experimental procedure performed by specialists.

Although the bridge of my nose is structurally fine, I do have a longer, droopy tip that has been bothering me aesthetically. I’m considering discussing with my surgeon the possibility of modifying the tip slightly during the surgery. Has anyone had experience convincing their surgeon to make small aesthetic changes during a functional procedure? I would appreciate any insights or advice on how to approach this conversation.

Just ask your surgeon, i've heard that some surgeons are willing to alter the nose aesthetically if they can get it under the insurance as well. Anyway worst thing he can say is no or ask you to pay money for anything that goes beyond the functional outcome.
I'm getting septoplasty btw too soon when are you getting yours?

Ah okay im planning to do it in March since I'm not sure if it would be an good idea to get it done within my semester / studying time. Im getting the surgery in Germany.
Do you know you how they repair your nasal valve collapse? I heard some use cartilage from the ribs to strengthen the nostrils. I too have a mild form of this nasal collapse but hoping the septoplasty will fix it as well.

Ah dann bist du wahrscheinlich auch deutscher haha.
Sind bei dir beide Seiten durch die Nasenscheidewandverkrümmung blockiert oder ist es nur eine Seite?
Ja Münster kann bestimmt gut sein, hat ja auch nh große medizinische Fakultät dort. Warum machst du es denn eigentlich erst im April und nicht schon früher?

jaa haha, bei mir sind beide blockiert aber die rechte seite sehr stark. der termin im april ist der frühstmögliche den die haben, ich versuche aber dass mein HNO da bisschen mehr druck macht damit das früher gemacht wird

Ja wenn dich nichts persönlich daran hindert die OP zeitnah zu machen, dann ist früher aufjedenfall besser. Bockt einfach nicht mit einer stuffy nose zu leben, kannst dich ja melden wenn du die OP gemacht hast
