Does rhinoplasty affect the normal function of the nasal cavity?

Patient's question:

My nose is not very three-dimensional; it's quite flat. I'm planning to get a rhinoplasty to enhance the three-dimensionality of my nose and stabilize its shape. However, I'm worried that the rhinoplasty might affect the normal function of my nasal cavity. I'd like to consult experts here to see if a rhinoplasty can affect the normal function of the nasal cavity?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, rhinoplasty will never affect the function inside the nasal cavity. However, if during the rhinoplasty surgery, there is a recurrence of swelling and pus discharge, it may make breathing more difficult, which will prevent some functions inside the nasal cavity from being fully realized. This is mainly due to the low technical level of the surgeon performing the operation. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a regular hospital and select a highly skilled doctor to perform the surgery.
