"Is there any connection between rhinoplasty and sinus surgery?" asked Dr. Richard's wife in the Reels video he shared. Dr. Beauty, Dr. Richard, then answered this question. "As far as I know, there is no connection. So, if sinus surgery is performed by an ENT doctor, there is no need to reshape the nose as well."

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure performed to improve the shape, size, or proportion of the nose. This is often done for aesthetic reasons or to correct deformities caused by trauma or birth defects. This surgery focuses on the external structure of the nose, including the nasal bone and cartilage.

Meanwhile, sinus surgery is performed to address medical problems such as chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, or sinus obstruction that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods. This surgery focuses on the sinuses and inner nasal passages, with the aim of improving sinus drainage and eliminating obstruction.

Quoted from HelloSehat.com, there are several types of sinusitis surgeries available, each with different methods and goals: Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): Using an endoscope, a thin fiber optic tube equipped with a telescope and surgical instruments, which is inserted into the nose.

Image-Guided Surgery: Using endoscopy with the help of images from CT scans for visual guidance. Caldwell-Luc Surgery: Invasive surgery involving an incision below the eye to access the maxillary sinus. Balloon Sinuplasty Surgery: Inserting a thin tube with a small balloon at its tip into the nose.
