Septoplasty Surgery – Impaired Breathing San Francisco
Are you experiencing impaired breathing? This and other nasal issues can often be solved with the aid of functional rhinoplasty. One of the main types of functional rhinoplasty is septoplasty surgery.
The septum, made up of cartilage and bone, is a central structure in the nose. With septoplasty surgery, a patient can have fractures in their nasal septum repaired.

Functional Rhinoplasty – San Francisco Impaired Breathing
Rhinoplasty, or nasal surgery, can either be functional or cosmetic. While cosmetic rhinoplasty is specifically focused on improving the nose’s outward appearance to satisfy the goals of the patient, functional rhinoplasty has a different purpose.

Because this type of surgery is viewed as important for health purposes, insurance companies are likely to pay for a portion of the procedure costs.
