Does anybody have any idea?
As a plastic surgeon in Salisbury, I would be happy to explain how Septoplasty Surgery works. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that is performed to correct a deviated nasal septum, which is the wall that separates the two nostrils.
The nasal septum is made up of cartilage and bone, and it can become bent or crooked, leading to a variety of issues such as difficulty breathing, nosebleeds, and sinus infections. Septoplasty is designed to straighten the nasal septum and improve nasal airflow, ultimately providing relief for the patient.
The procedure typically begins with the administration of general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Once the patient is properly anesthetized, the surgeon will make an incision inside the nose, usually along the septum. This allows the surgeon to access the deviated portion of the septum and carefully reshape or remove the excess cartilage or bone to straighten the nasal passage.
In some cases, the surgeon may also need to address any other structural abnormalities in the nose, such as a deviated nasal valve or a crooked nasal tip. These additional procedures can be performed during the same surgery to optimize the patient's breathing and the overall appearance of the nose.
After the necessary adjustments have been made to the nasal septum, the incision is closed using dissolvable sutures. In some cases, the surgeon may also place small splints or packing inside the nose to help support the new, straightened septum as it heals.
The recovery process for Septoplasty Surgery typically takes several weeks. Patients can expect to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the nose and eyes in the days following the procedure. Pain medication and cold compresses can help alleviate these symptoms. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activities and refrain from blowing their nose for the first week or two after surgery.
As the nasal tissues heal, the swelling and discomfort will gradually subside, and the patient's breathing should improve. It is important for patients to follow the post-operative instructions provided by their surgeon, including attending any follow-up appointments, to ensure a successful recovery and optimal results.
In conclusion, Septoplasty Surgery is a highly effective procedure for correcting a deviated nasal septum and improving nasal function. As a plastic surgeon in Salisbury, I have extensive experience performing this procedure and helping patients achieve better breathing and a more balanced facial appearance. If you or someone you know is struggling with a deviated septum, I encourage you to schedule a consultation to learn more about how Septoplasty Surgery can help.
