This is a 19 year old male patient who has difficulty breathing through his nose, and wanted to improve the appearance of his nose. Examination reveals that he had a deviated septum. In addition, he wanted to reduce the hump of hise nose and straighten his nose in order to improve his appearance. Surgery to correct a deviated septum is called a septoplasty and a nose job is called a Rhinoplasty. When thses procedures are performed together, this is called a septorhinopalsty. Dr. Steiger is a nose specialist and for all of his patients uses special equipment in order to thoroughly examine each nose to allow for the best possible treatment plan.

Patient: Hi my name is Jordan and I came to Dr Steiger to get my nose fixed. I have a slight bump on the upper left hand side which is caused from breaking my nose and I've had trouble breathing for the past about a year or so. Dr Steiger told me that I had a deviated septum and I figured that while he was in there fixing the deviated septum I'd like to get the bump removed. I want a natural looking nose thats not too feminine or not too overpowering for my face and I want to be able to breathe like I used to, I get very winded now. My surgery is next week and I'm looking forward to it. I am a little nervous but I'm also excited.
