Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty, often referred to simply as "rhinoplasty," is a surgical procedure that combines nasal septum correction with aesthetic nose reshaping. This comprehensive procedure aims to improve both nasal function and appearance. At our practice, our skilled surgeons specialize in septorhinoplasty to address functional issues such as breathing difficulties and aesthetic concerns related to the nose.

Understanding Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty involves:

1. Nasal Septum Correction: Straightening a deviated septum to improve airflow and alleviate breathing problems.

2. Aesthetic Reshaping: Enhancing the external appearance of the nose by refining its shape, size, or proportions.

Indications for Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty may be recommended for individuals experiencing:

Nasal obstruction or congestion due to a deviated septum.

Difficulty breathing through the nose, especially during sleep (obstructive sleep apnea).

Aesthetic concerns such as a prominent dorsal hump, crooked nose, or asymmetry.

Benefits of Septorhinoplasty

1. Improved Nasal Function: Enhances airflow and corrects breathing difficulties.

2. Enhanced Facial Harmony: Refines the nose to complement overall facial features.

3. Boosted Confidence: Addresses aesthetic concerns, leading to increased self-esteem.

4. Restored Nasal Symmetry: Corrects deformities or asymmetries for a more balanced appearance.

Procedure Overview

During septorhinoplasty:

The surgeon accesses the nasal structures through internal or external incisions.

The nasal septum is straightened or reconstructed to improve airflow.

Aesthetic adjustments are made to reshape the external nose, ensuring balance and proportion.

Recovery and Follow-Up Care

After septorhinoplasty, patients typically experience mild swelling, bruising, and nasal congestion. Recovery time varies but generally involves following post-operative instructions to promote healing and minimize discomfort.
