What’s the difference between Rhinoplasty and Septo-Rhinoplasty?

Traditionally, the term 'Rhinoplasty' was used to describe surgery to change the outward appearance of the nose. In contrast Septo-rhinoplasty was used when additional changes to the septum were made to improve breathing. With modern structural and preservation Rhinoplasty techniques, such distinctions are less valid. Almost all Rhinoplasty surgery nowadays will also address the septum. Even if the septum is not deviated and breathing is not a problem, grafts are taken from this area of the nose for tip support and to improve other aesthetic issues. As such in modern rhinoplasty the traditional distinction between “Rhinoplasty vs Septorhinoplasty” has less meaning.
