Dr. Anni Wong Announces New Expert Guidance on Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty for Patients

To provide patients with clearer guidance on their options for enhancing nasal function and improving facial aesthetics, Dr. Anni Wong, a board-certified otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon serving New Jersey, is sharing new insights on the key distinctions between septoplasty and rhinoplasty.

By presenting transparent, expert-driven information, Dr. Wong aims to support individuals in making well-informed choices-whether those involve addressing functional breathing challenges, refining the nose's appearance, or achieving both goals through a tailored treatment plan.

Septoplasty Surgery: Restoring Nasal Function

Septoplasty surgery is a medical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum, a condition in which the nasal septum is misaligned. This can cause breathing difficulties, chronic congestion, and frequent sinus infections. Dr. Wong has expertise in performing septoplasty procedures to improve nasal function by straightening the nasal septum, alleviating nasal blockage, and reducing symptoms like nasal congestion. This procedure is often recommended for individuals with functional concerns such as difficulty breathing or sleep apnea.

Rhinoplasty: Addressing Cosmetic and Functional Concerns

Rhinoplasty, commonly referred to as a "nose job," is a surgical procedure that addresses both cosmetic and functional concerns. Dr. Wong performs rhinoplasty surgery to reshape the nose's appearance, correcting features like a dorsal hump, crooked nose, or bulbous nasal tip.

For patients with breathing problems or structural defects, functional rhinoplasty offers an effective solution to enhance nasal passages and improve breathing function. Dr. Wong's approach integrates cosmetic improvements with functional benefits, achieving a balanced and natural-looking result.

When to Consider Septoplasty or Rhinoplasty

Determining whether septoplasty, rhinoplasty, or a combined approach is appropriate begins with a thorough evaluation of a patient's symptoms and objectives. Individuals experiencing persistent nasal obstruction, difficulty breathing, or chronic sinus issues may benefit from septoplasty, while those seeking a more refined or balanced facial appearance might find rhinoplasty to be the ideal solution.

With a personalized consultation, Dr. Wong can help identify the most suitable approach, ensuring that each patient's chosen procedure aligns with their individual goals.

Customized Treatment Plans for Optimal Results

Dr. Wong emphasizes personalized care, tailoring each nasal surgery to the specific needs of her patients. For septoplasty procedures, she focuses on restoring proper structure and function to the nasal septum, while rhinoplasty procedures may address aesthetic improvements, breathing issues, or both. In some cases, Dr. Wong combines septoplasty and rhinoplasty in a single surgical procedure, known as septorhinoplasty, to address functional and cosmetic concerns simultaneously. This approach streamlines recovery into one recovery period while providing comprehensive results.
