Sometimes the internal nasal tissues are so overgrown, or obstructed by (benign) polyps that breathing through the nose is almost impossible. The common surgery (I studied on it and went through it for obstructive sleep apnea) is septoplasty, polypectomy and turbinectomy.
Septoplasty corrects a deviated or otherwise defective septum; polypectomy removes the polyps by using a snare; turbinectomy is reduction of the small convoluted bones, called turbinates, inside the nose.
The cosmetic part of rhinoplasty is what most people think of as a "nose job". But it can be a purely medical procedure, and not even cosmetic. Believe you me, it makes a big difference in being able to breathe!
