Septorhinoplasty (Nose Aesthetics and Functional Corrections)

The nose is an important feature of our face, both affecting our appearance and playing an important role in our respiratory functions. However, sometimes we may encounter problems such as deformities of the nose or difficulty in breathing. Septorhinoplasty is a surgical intervention that includes both aesthetic and functional corrections.

What is Septorhinoplasty? Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that aims to correct the middle cartilage and bone structure called the nasal septum. During this procedure, the partition inside the nose is corrected and the cartilage and bone structures outside the nose can be reshaped. In this way, both aesthetic and respiratory problems can be solved.

Who is it Suitable for

• Those with an uncomfortable deformity in the shape of the nose
• Those who have difficulty breathing
• Those with problems after nasal trauma

Septorhinoplasty Process:

1. Inspection and Evaluation: The first step is an assessment of the patient's condition by a plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist.

2. Surgical Planning: Based on the needs and expectations of the patient, the surgeon makes a pre-operative plan.

3. Surgical Procedure: During the operation, which is usually performed under general anaesthesia, the cartilage and bone structures in the nose are corrected.

4. Recovery Period: Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks. However, full recovery may take several months.

Results and Expectations: After septorhinoplasty, patients can usually breathe better and aesthetic problems in the shape of the nose are corrected. However, individual results may vary because each patient is different.

Conclusion: Septorhinoplasty is an effective surgical option that helps people who want to resolve both aesthetic concerns and respiratory problems. However, if this type of operation is being considered, it is important to have a detailed discussion with a specialist doctor.
