Suffering from breathing difficulties and infections in the nasal passage due to a crooked nose or deviated septum? Opt for septoplasty in Hyderabad at Inform Clinics to enhance the look of the nose and achieve improved respiratory health.
The human nose has two nostrils that are separated from one another by a wall called as nasal septum which is partly made of bone and partly of cartilage. Normally, the septum is present in the middle of the nose and equally divides it into two. But, some people have one nostril narrower than another due to shifting of the nasal septum on one side- a condition known as a deviated septum.
A deviated septum can be a birth defect or it can be caused by a nose injury. Usually, one smaller nasal passage results in troubled breathing and may even lead to a claggy nose due to no airflow in and out of the nose. Further, it can result in nasal inflammations or infections because of the growth of bacteria inside the nose or frequent nose bleeds due to excessive drying of the nose. Other issues that can also be experienced due to deviated septum includes easy sinus issues (sinusitis), snoring, impaired sense of taste and smell, sleep apnea, and facial pain. The only way to fix a deviated nasal septum is surgery.
Septoplasty, also referred to as turbinoplasty or turbinectomy, is an operation on the nose to correct deformed or deviated nasal septum. It is a plastic surgery performed at Inform Clinics, by Dr. Parag Telang, best plastic and cosmetic surgeon in Gachibowli, Hyderabad to reposition or straighten the nose to the exact center of the nose and allow better airflow through the nasal passages. The procedure involves cutting/trimming, repositioning, and replacing some portions of the nasal septum (bone and cartilages or both) and aligning the nose to its original correct position. It is entirely done through the inside of the nose, thus there is no incision or cut required to be made on the skin at the outside of the nose. The procedure is safe and minimally invasive lasting for about an hour. It can be performed in combination with rhinoplasty to improve nose appearance.
Why is septoplasty done?
Septoplasty is recommended by the surgeon in the following cases:
- Deformed/deviated nasal septum due to a congenital defect or a nose injury
- To treat sinus or nasal drainage
- Inflammed nose
- Increased headaches because of sinus infections
- Difficulty in breathing normally through the nose
- Increased mouth breathing, which may lead to oral infections
- To treat frequent nose bleeds caused by excessive drying of the nose
- To visualize the inside of the nose and look for any other problems with the nose.
Benefits of Septoplasty:
Septoplasty can be considered for both aesthetic and medical purposes. If an individual has a deviated nasal septum or crooked nose, a septoplasty procedure is a medically necessary surgery- the only solution to correct the issues in nose structure. There are many advantages to undergoing septoplasty with Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, plastic surgeon in Hyderabad. These includes:
- Improved breathing through the nose
As the operation involves structural corrections of the nose, the nasal passages are again made of equal width and size. With the opening up of both nostrils, the patients are allowed to breathe freely again through their nose. When there are no more restricted breathing abilities, the patients can enjoy more body workouts.
- Fewer sinus issues
Patients who have undergone septoplasty procedures do not suffer from sinus infections as frequently as they used to earlier. Sinus infections are more in case of patients who are born with a structural defect of the nasal septum. This is because deviated septum blocks the nasal passageways and affects the proper drainage of the mucus from the nose. However, after septoplasty, the previously narrowed or partially blocked nasal airways are cleared, thereby allowing the mucus to normally drain through the sinuses.
- A better life quality
Post-septoplasty, the patients enjoy a higher quality of their lives. The surgery help eliminates many issues in one go such as chronic snoring, nose bleeds, sleep apnea, and sinus headaches. Reshaping the crooked nasal septum improves the overall quality of sleep. Further, it also improves both smell and taste senses that were impaired because of a deviated septum.
