Septoplasty (Surgical Solution to End Breathing Difficulties)
The nose is both an important facial feature that affects our appearance and has a critical role for healthy breathing. However, curvatures or deformities in the middle septum, called the nasal septum, can lead to breathing problems. Septoplasty is a surgical intervention aimed at improving nasal health.
What is Septoplasty? Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the nasal septum. During this procedure, the middle cartilage and bone partition in the nose is corrected to make breathing more comfortable.
Who is it suitable for?
- Those with curvature in the nose
- Those who have difficulty breathing
- People with chronic nasal congestion
Septoplasty Process:
-
Examination and Evaluation: The first step is the evaluation of the patient's nasal structure by an otolaryngologist.
-
Surgical Planning: The specialist surgeon creates the surgical intervention plan in accordance with the individual patient's condition.
-
Surgical Procedure: The operation, which usually takes place under local or general anesthesia, involves correction of the septum in the nose.
-
Recovery Period: Patients can usually return to normal daily activities within a few days. Full recovery may take several weeks.
Results and Expectations: After septoplasty, patients can usually breathe better and nasal congestion problems are reduced. However, individual results may vary because each patient is different.
