Yes — this is actually one of the more common scenarios in rhinoplasty, and combining both in a single surgery is generally more efficient than treating them separately, since it means one recovery period instead of two, and one overall surgical plan that accounts for both goals together.
Dr. Kim personally handles both the functional correction (such as straightening a deviated septum) and the cosmetic reshaping in the same procedure, without needing to refer breathing-related concerns to a separate specialist. This matters because functional and aesthetic elements are often structurally connected — for example, septal work done for breathing can directly affect how the bridge and tip are shaped, so planning both together from the start tends to produce a more coherent result than treating them as entirely separate problems.
Consultation Tip
If you have both breathing concerns and cosmetic goals, mention both clearly during your consultation from the start — this lets Dr. Kim design a single, integrated plan rather than treating them as an afterthought.
