If the person has difficulty in breathing due to a mechanical problem related to the respiratory tract, it may be possible to provide partial or complete improvement in the respiratory tract with some techniques to be added to this surgery.

Protective rhinoplasty, which has become more common in recent years, defines the surgery in which the nasal ridge and cartilage membranes are preserved.
