A septoplasty is surgery to improve the appearance of the nose (rhinoplasty) and to improve breathing through the nose (septoplasty).
This involves surgery on the bones and cartilage that give the nose its shape and structure and make the septum straight. The septum is the cartilage and bone in the nose that separate the nostrils.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. It usually takes 1 to 2 hours. The surgeon will make an incision in the lining and lift it away from the cartilage and bone. The parts of the cartilage and bone that are distorted will be removed, and the rest will be put back into a straight position. The surgeon may refine the tip of the nose by removing some of the cartilage. He may also straighten and narrow the nasal bones. The surgeon may need to support or rebuild part of the nose using a cartilage graft, bone graft, or artificial implant. At the end of the surgery, swabs are placed in the nostrils to prevent bleeding and a splint and tape on the outside of the nose for support.
Septorhinoplasty requires 1 day of hospitalization.
Nasal swabs are usually removed the next day.
The splint and tape are removed after a week.
For 2 weeks, bending and heavy physical activity should be avoided.
You should consult your doctor for advice before returning to more strenuous exercise.
The final result of the surgery and the final appearance of the nose can be seen in a few months.
