Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty Surgery in Turkey

Septorhinoplasty is an operation that fulfills two purposes at the same time. First, it straightens or repairs your septum, which is preventing you from breathing adequately through your nose. Second, it aesthetically improves the shape of your nose. The septum is the anatomical structure inside the nose that divides your nasal cavity into two. Ideally, the septum should be in the midline. Thus, you can breathe equally through both noses. However, most people have a curvature of the septum. Since mostly the curvature is small, it does not cause discomfort. But, in some people septum is severely curved and slipped from the middle line. This significantly affects nasal breathing negatively. The person cannot breathe properly because the curvature is S or C-shaped. In such cases repairing the septum with Septorhinoplasty surgery is needed for breathing well from the nose. At the same time, the external appearance of the nose is changed, so allowing you have an aesthetically beautiful nose.

Who can have Septorhinoplasty surgery?

The curvature of the septum can cause unilateral or bilateral nasal congestion, snoring, Sleep Apnea, fluid accumulation in the ear, recurrent sinusitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis. People who have complaints due to septum curvature and who also want a more aesthetic appearance on their face are suitable candidates for septorhinoplasty surgery. Adolescence must end before surgery can be performed. Because the nose has not yet completed its development.

What is the difference between Septorhinoplasty and rhinoplasty?

If you have a stuffy nose due to the curvature of the septum and if the curvature can be treated without changing your external appearance, the only septoplasty can be performed to open your air channel. Rhinoplasty surgery is the only way to change the external appearance of the nose. If your nose is blocked because your septum is crooked or damaged, and you want your aesthetic appearance to be corrected at the same time, you should have septorhinoplasty surgery, which is a combination of septoplasty and rhinoplasty.

How is the surgery done?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours. Bone, cartilage structure, and flesh that cause septum curvature in the nose are filed, removed, and shaped. In our clinic, the Piezo technique is used in nose surgeries. Since the surgery is performed with the Piezo device without using a hammer or chisel, the recovery time is shortened, while the postoperative swelling and edema are minimized.
