SEPTOPLASTY (NASAL SEPTAL DEVIATION)

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting the narrowing of the airway caused by the deviation of the nasal septum cartilage/bone. The septum, which forms the central partition of the nose, significantly reduces breathing quality when deviated. This surgery can be performed alone or combined with functional or aesthetic rhinoplasty (Septorhinoplasty) to address both breathing and aesthetic issues simultaneously. 

Who is it Suitable For?

  •  Those who do not have a hump, droopy nasal tip, or asymmetry, but suffer from breathing problems. 
  • Those experiencing difficulty breathing accompanied by deviation/valve stenosis. 
  • Those suffering from sleep apnea, snoring, or chronic sinusitis solely due to internal nasal curvature. 

PLANNING & APPROACH

The Diagnosis and Planning process begins with Nasal Endoscopy to determine the location and degree of the internal curvature. If conditions like turbinate hypertrophy (enlarged turbinates) or nasal valve stenosis accompany the deviation, a holistic plan is made to address them in the same session as Septoplasty. 

SURGICAL APPROACHES (General Framework)

Septoplasty is typically a closed surgical approach performed through small incisions inside the nostrils. The goal is to correct the midline and open the airway by removing or reshaping the deviated parts of the septum. It leaves no visible external scar. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does Septoplasty surgery only solve the breathing problem?

Evet. Yes. The primary goal of Septoplasty is to improve breathing quality by eliminating the obstruction caused by nasal deviation. It does not aim for aesthetic change, but if combined with rhinoplasty, it becomes Septorhinoplasty. 

Septoplasty generally has a shorter recovery time than Rhinoplasty. Mild pain and congestion may occur in the first few days. Full recovery and return to sports activities typically take 2-4 weeks. 2-4 hafta sürer. 

It is very rare. Since Septoplasty focuses only on the internal bone and cartilage, the bruising and noticeable swelling seen in rhinoplasty surgery are generally not observed in this operation.
