Septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty is a combined surgical procedure that corrects both the internal nasal septum (septoplasty) and the external appearance of the nose (rhinoplasty) in a single operation. It addresses functional breathing problems alongside cosmetic concerns, delivering both improved nasal airflow and an enhanced nasal appearance.
The procedure is tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and goals, ensuring natural-looking results with optimal functional outcomes.
What is Septorhinoplasty?
Septorhinoplasty combines two procedures: septoplasty, which straightens a deviated nasal septum to improve breathing, and rhinoplasty, which reshapes the external nose for aesthetic improvement. Performing both together reduces overall recovery time and allows the surgeon to achieve a harmonious result addressing both form and function simultaneously.
Who is a Candidate?
- Patients with a deviated septum causing nasal obstruction
- Those seeking cosmetic improvement of the nose shape or size
- Nasal deformity following trauma or injury
- Breathing difficulty combined with aesthetic concerns
- Previous nasal surgery requiring revision
Procedure Overview
Septorhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon accesses the nasal structures through incisions inside the nose (closed approach) or with a small external incision at the base of the nose (open approach). The septum is straightened, and the nasal bones and cartilage are reshaped as planned. The procedure typically takes two to three hours.
Patients usually return home the same day or after a short hospital stay, with a nasal splint worn for one to two weeks during initial healing.
