Septorhinoplasty

Septorhinoplasty in Turkey

A deviated septum can disrupt many aspects of everyday life. Simple tasks like exercising or sleeping can become challenging. You also can develop side effects of a deviated septum like snoring and mouth breathing.
Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to repair a deviated septum while also performing a rhinoplasty.

Who is the best candidate for Septorhinoplasty:

You may be a good candidate for Septorhinoplasty if:

• Your facial growth is complete.
• If you are physically healthy.
• If you are not a smoker.
• You have a positive outlook and realistic goals in mind for the improvement of your appearance.

Septorhinoplasty Operation

The operation consists in five phases. The beginning phase is the anesthesia, your operation will be performed in general anesthesia. The second phase is incision. Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. Through these incisions, the skin that covers the nasal bones and cartilages is gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure of the nose. Third phase is mucosal lining separation. The nasal mucosal lining, the membrane that covers the surface of the septum, is then lifted away from the septum at one side. This is a critical step that is carefully performed since the lining is fragile, which may result in a tear or hole in the lining as the mucosa is lifted away from the septum. Similarly the mucosal lining on the opposite side is lifted away from the septum. Fourth phase is deviated septum correction. The deviated septum (bone and/or cartilage) is removed, leaving behind the special mucosal lining. In the last phase surgeon is closing incision. Once the septum is in the desired position and straightened, the nasal mucosal lining is repositioned around it and sutured back together.
