Nasal bone deviation, also known as septal deviation, refers to the abnormal bending of the nasal septum—the cartilage and bone structure that divides the nasal cavity. This condition can cause breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and sinusitis. Septorhinoplasty surgery aims to correct this nasal bone deviation surgically and improve nasal functions.
Septorhinoplasty is a suitable solution for individuals experiencing breathing problems, chronic nasal congestion, frequent sinus infections due to nasal bone deviation, or structural nasal abnormalities. It can also be combined with cosmetic rhinoplasty to achieve both functional and visual improvements.
The procedure is usually performed under local or general anesthesia. The surgeon corrects the deviation of the septum through incisions inside the nose and reshapes the bone and cartilage as needed. Airway passages are opened to improve nasal function. Postoperative nasal packing or splints may be used.
Before surgery, a detailed examination and imaging studies are performed to assess the nasal structure. The patient is informed about the procedure, and necessary tests are completed. After surgery, swelling and mild pain in the nose are common in the first few days. Nasal packing and splints are removed within several days. Complete healing usually takes 4-6 weeks, and during this time, care should be taken to avoid trauma to the nose and maintain hygiene.
Septorhinoplasty improves not only the aesthetic appearance of the nose but also breathing function. By opening blocked airways caused by the deviated septum, patients experience easier breathing. This surgery also helps prevent recurrent sinus infections such as sinusitis. Furthermore, it contributes to facial symmetry by creating a more balanced nose that harmonizes with facial features. Aesthetically, it boosts patients' confidence and positively impacts social life.
After surgery, patients should follow several important care instructions. Swelling, bruising, and mild pain in the nose are normal during the initial days. Medications prescribed by the doctor should be taken regularly. Trauma to the nose must be avoided, and nasal hygiene should be maintained carefully. Nasal splints and packing are typically removed within the first week. While the complete healing process lasts 4-6 weeks, the final shape of the nose can take up to 6 months to settle. Regular follow-ups and patience are key to a healthy recovery.
There are two main surgical techniques for septorhinoplasty: open and closed. The open technique involves a small incision on the nasal tip, allowing the surgeon to directly visualize and operate on the nasal structures; it is preferred for more complex deformities. The closed technique uses incisions inside the nose, leaving no external scars and often allowing a shorter recovery time. Advances such as ultrasonic devices and endoscopic methods have increased surgical precision and reduced complication risks.
A thorough preoperative evaluation includes examining nasal anatomy, breathing function, allergy status, and overall health. Necessary blood tests and imaging (e.g., CT scan) assess the severity of deviation. The patient is educated about the surgery, risks, and expectations. Preparation includes smoking cessation and adjustment of blood-thinning medications. This phase is crucial for surgical success.
As with any surgery, septorhinoplasty carries certain risks such as infection, bleeding, delayed healing, excessive nasal dryness or congestion, and unsatisfactory aesthetic results. However, these risks are minimized by experienced surgeons and appropriate surgical techniques. Adhering to preoperative and postoperative instructions reduces complications and promotes faster healing.
Septorhinoplasty is often performed alongside cosmetic rhinoplasty procedures. This approach allows for simultaneous improvement of nasal function and external nasal appearance. Combined surgeries enable patients to achieve complete satisfaction in both health and aesthetics. Treatment plans are customized and thoroughly planned before surgery.
Postoperative nasal care includes regular nasal cleaning, avoiding strenuous exercise, and protecting the nose from trauma. Smoking and alcohol consumption negatively affect healing and should be avoided if possible. Sun protection and following physician recommendations are important. Regular follow-ups ensure long-term preservation of nasal function and aesthetics.
