Rhinoplasty is a procedure that involves the reconstruction of nasal bones, often changing the shape and angle of the nose. While there are some cosmetic benefits to rhinoplasty, most patients undergo the surgery to correct impaired breathing caused by birth defects or injury. The entire process, including recovery, takes around 10 to 14 days, with the end result being a more proportionate face and better breathing.
Rhinoplasty is often considered as the final option for breathing conditions or disorders as this is a major and traumatic event for the body. It should only be considered if no other treatment option provides relief to the symptoms.

This treatment option is sometimes considered for people suffering from asthma, only this is generally not recommended. Many otolaryngologists suggest other methods of managing asthma as the condition will not be treated properly with a rhinoplastic plan. The surgery only addresses mechanical obstruction through the nasal passages. These may or may not improve the asthmatic condition.
Asthma is a respiratory condition, with the cause normally found within the lungs. Difficulty in breathing occurs due to an allergic reaction or some sort of hypersensitivity (such as stress). Rhinoplasty may improve the condition partially with a bigger nasal passage, but again, this would only address a small part of the condition and would otherwise prove ineffective as a total treatment plan.
