Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that allows the airway to be opened by correcting the curved cartilage and bone tissues inside the nose. These structural disorders that cause nasal congestion can lead to problems such as difficulty breathing, snoring and sinusitis.
Who is Septoplasty Suitable For?
Those who experience chronic nasal congestion,
Patients who frequently suffer from sinusitis or headaches due to nasal curvature,
Individuals who have snoring and sleep apnea problems,
People who have had nasal trauma or structural deformities.
How Is Septoplasty Performed?
The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours. Using a closed technique, incisions are made inside the nose to correct the curved cartilage and bone tissue. If necessary, the intranasal structures are strengthened with supporting cartilage grafts.
Recovery Process After Septoplasty
There may be slight swelling and a feeling of fullness in the nose after the operation, but it is usually painless.
If postoperative tampons are used, they will be removed within 1-3 days.
It is recommended to avoid heavy physical activities for the first week.
The full recovery process is usually completed within 4-6 weeks and breathing functions improve significantly.
Septoplasty is a functional surgery that eliminates breathing problems and can be combined with aesthetic nose surgery to offer the patient the best results both aesthetically and functionally. Op.
