The right choice for septal deviation surgery.

Best choice for the Septal Deviation Surgery

If you are experiencing difficulty breathing and a constant feeling of congestion, septal deviation surgery can be a good solution.

Septal deviation surgery involves correcting the curved partition inside the nose. This procedure is performed to open up the airways and make the nasal structure more symmetrical. While it is often chosen for functional reasons, sometimes this operation can also improve the aesthetic appearance of your face when performed alongside rhinoplasty.

Dr. Sedat Koyunsever, an experienced surgeon specializing in septal deviation correction and nasal reshaping procedures, aims to improve your breathing and enhance your quality of life.

Closed Septal Deviation Surgery

Closed septal deviation surgery is a procedure performed using a closed technique to correct the curved partition inside the nose.

Without making any incisions outside the nose, the septal deviation, which hinders breathing, is delicately corrected.

During this procedure, special instruments are used to make the septum straight and symmetrical.

The procedure is generally painless and carries little risk of bruising and swelling.

Open Septal Deviation Surgery

Open septal deviation surgery is a method preferred in cases where more complex or significant deviations need to be corrected.

This technique requires a small incision at the tip of the nose, which is usually inconspicuous, to allow the surgeon to have better visibility and access to shape the septum.

In this approach, advanced surgical techniques are used to aim for both aesthetic and functional improvements of the septum.

While the open approach may have a slightly longer recovery time, it can result in significant improvements in respiratory function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below, you can find frequently asked questions and their answers regarding septal deviation procedures.

The time to return to work after septal deviation surgery can vary depending on the scope of the operation, the patient’s overall health, the physical demands of the job, and individual differences in the healing process. Typically, patients can return to light duties within 1-2 weeks, but complete recovery and resuming heavy physical activities may require a longer period.

Yes, bruising and swelling are common after septal deviation surgery. These side effects are most noticeable immediately after the operation, typically peaking within a few days and then gradually subsiding. While bruises significantly improve within 1-2 weeks for most patients, swelling may persist longer, sometimes at a mild level for months. The recovery process varies from individual to individual, and it’s important to manage it by following the instructions provided by your doctor. Recommendations such as applying cold compresses, keeping your head elevated, and avoiding excessive exercise can help expedite the healing process.

After septal deviation surgery, it is generally recommended to wait at least one month before going swimming in the sea or pool. However, this duration can vary from person to person and may be longer depending on the complexity of the surgery.

During the post-operative healing process, it’s important to wait for the nasal tissues to fully heal, as water with irritants like chlorine or salt and the risk of infection can be harmful. Your doctor will provide you with a personalized timeline based on the healing process of your nasal structure.

You can return to water activities after complete healing and with the approval of your doctor. Following your doctor’s instructions during this process will help you achieve the best and safest results.

The removal of the packing used after septal deviation surgery typically creates a mild discomfort or pressure sensation, but for most patients, this procedure is not painful. The process of removing the packing is usually done quickly and smoothly. Some patients may describe the removal of nasal packing as mildly uncomfortable, but this is generally brief and does not cause severe pain.

Since everyone’s pain threshold is different, the experience can vary from person to person. Additionally, following the instructions provided by your doctor during and after the removal of packing can enhance comfort and the healing process. If you have any concerns or questions, it’s best to discuss them with your doctor.

The time to start exercising after septal deviation surgery typically depends on the type of surgery and the individual’s recovery process. In most cases, light exercises like gentle walks can be started a few weeks after the surgery. However, returning to more intense activities, especially contact sports that may exert pressure on the nasal area, often takes around 4-6 weeks or longer.

It’s essential to consider the time required for complete healing of nasal tissues and bones. Heavy exercises or contact sports during the early stages of recovery can potentially apply unwanted pressure on the nose and negatively impact the healing process.

Since every patient is different, it’s crucial to seek advice and approval from your surgeon for the most accurate information on when to start exercising. Your doctor will provide personalized recommendations based on your individual recovery during post-operative check-ups.
