When you hear of people having nose surgery, you might assume that they’re having the procedure just for cosmetic reasons.
But did you know that rhinoplasty can sometimes be used to help correct issues with the function of the nose? Have a look at this type of nose surgery, aka septorhinoplasty, and its benefits.
Understanding Septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty is a transformative procedure that combines two techniques – septoplasty and rhinoplasty. It targets both the inner wall dividing the nasal cavity, known as the septum, and the exterior of the nose.
Septoplasty rectifies any deviations in the nasal septum, addressing breathing issues or discomfort. Rhinoplasty, on the other hand, works on reshaping the nose’s structure for a more harmonious facial balance. Combining these two, septorhinoplasty aims to give you not only a better-functioning nose but also a more aesthetically pleasing one.
The Dual Benefits of Septorhinoplasty
-
Enhanced breathing: By straightening a deviated septum, septorhinoplasty can significantly improve nasal airflow, leading to a reduction in problems like snoring or difficulty in breathing.
-
Refined appearance: Whether you desire a change in size, shape, or angle of your nose, septorhinoplasty can be customised to meet your aesthetic goals, ultimately leading to a boost in your self-confidence.
What’s Involved in a Septorhinoplasty?
At Klinikal, our proficient surgeons approach each septorhinoplasty with meticulous care and attention. The procedure typically involves making an incision inside the nose or at the base of the nose. Through these incisions, alterations are made to the bone, cartilage, or septum to achieve the desired shape and function. After the surgery, you might need to wear a nasal splint for about a week to support your newly structured nose.
Is Septorhinoplasty Right for You?
Septorhinoplasty could be a transformative procedure if you’re experiencing breathing issues due to a deviated septum or if you’re unhappy with the appearance of your nose. Remember, at Klinikal, we believe that each patient is unique, and our goal is to provide personalised care and solutions that are right for you.
