Modern rhinoplasty combines functional correction with aesthetic refinement to improve nasal breathing while maintaining facial harmony. Surgical planning requires a comprehensive assessment of nasal anatomy, airway obstruction, septal alignment, nasal valve function, skin characteristics and patient expectations. Techniques may include septoplasty, structural grafting, tip modification and correction of external deformities. Advances in surgical approaches and preservation techniques have expanded options for individualised treatment. However, achieving durable functional improvement while maintaining structural support and aesthetic balance remains challenging. Appropriate patient selection, meticulous surgical technique and postoperative follow-up are essential for satisfactory long-term outcomes.
