Septorhinoplasty (Functional Nose Surgery)

Septorhinoplasty combines straightening of the nasal septum with reshaping of the outer nose in one operation. It is chosen when the blockage comes not only from a bent septum inside but also from a crooked, collapsed or injured nasal framework outside.

The aim is a nose that breathes well and looks straight and natural. Breathing surgery is less predictable than many expect: most people improve clearly, but a perfect airway cannot be promised and the nose continues to settle for a year.

What Septorhinoplasty (Functional Nose Surgery) involves

Under general anaesthetic the surgeon usually works through an open approach, with a small cut across the skin between the nostrils, to see the whole framework. The bent parts of the septum are freed, straightened or removed, keeping a strong L-shaped strut for support. The harvested cartilage is then carved into grafts: spreader grafts widen the internal nasal valve, a strut supports the tip and batten grafts stiffen side walls that collapse on breathing in. Crooked nasal bones are cut and reset, and any hump or tip change agreed beforehand is made. Soft silicone splints sit inside and a cast goes on the outside.

Who is a good candidate for Septorhinoplasty (Functional Nose Surgery)?

It suits people whose blocked nose has a structural cause that septoplasty alone would not fix.

• A visibly crooked nose with blockage after injury
• Nasal valve collapse, where the side wall sucks in on breathing
• A severely twisted septum involving the upper or front edge that supports the nose
• A saddle or drooping tip affecting airflow
• People who want functional and cosmetic change in one recovery

Es ist normalerweise nicht die richtige Wahl, wenn:

• Blockage caused mainly by allergy or polyps, which needs medical or sinus treatment
• A simple septal deviation with a straight outer nose, where septoplasty is enough
• Under 16 to 17 years of age, before facial growth is complete, except after serious injury
• Ongoing cocaine use or uncontrolled nasal inflammation
• People seeking only a cosmetic change, who are better served by the rhinoplasty page

Technikoptionen

• Open septorhinoplasty: Best exposure for grafting and crooked noses. Leaves a fine scar under the nose.
• Closed approach: All cuts inside the nostrils. Suits less complex corrections.
• Extracorporeal septoplasty: The whole septum is removed, straightened on the table and replaced. Reserved for severe deformity.
• Rib or ear cartilage grafts: Used when the septum has too little cartilage left, often in revision or after injury.
• Turbinate reduction: Added when enlarged turbinates contribute to obstruction.

Was passiert während Ihrer Behandlung

Surgery takes 2 to 4 hours. You wake with a cast on the nose and splints inside, breathing mainly through the mouth. Pain is usually moderate and controlled with tablets; congestion is the main complaint. Most people stay 1 night.

Vorbereitung auf Ihre Reise

Plan for 8 to 10 days in Istanbul. Your surgeon reviews photographs and your medical history before you book, and you meet in person the day before surgery for examination, marking and consent with a professional interpreter.

• Stoppen Sie das Rauchen und Nikotin mindestens vier Wochen vor und nach der Operation; es ist die größte vermeidbare Ursache von Wundproblemen
• Erzählen Sie dem Team von allen Medikamenten und Ergänzungen, die Sie einnehmen; Blutverdünner, einige Kräuterprodukte und Hormonbehandlungen müssen möglicherweise auf Anraten Ihres Arztes unterbrochen werden
• Vereinbaren Sie, dass jemand mit Ihnen reist oder erreichbar ist, und halten Sie die ersten Tage zu Hause frei von Arbeit und Heben
• Buchen Sie einen veränderlichen Rückflug; Ihr Chirurg bestätigt, wenn Sie fit sind

Genesung und Ergebnisse

Bruising and swelling around the eyes peak at day 2 to 3 and fade over 10 to 14 days. Splints and cast come off at about 7 days. Breathing improves once the splints are out, then fluctuates for some weeks as the lining swells and settles. Avoid glasses resting on the nose for about 6 weeks and contact sport for 3 months. Most people are socially presentable at 2 weeks. Tip swelling and final shape take 12 months.

• Zurück zur alltäglichen Aktivität: 10 bis 14 Tage
• When results show: Breathing in 2 to 6 weeks; shape settles over 12 months
• How long they last: Permanent in most; some need revision

Sicherheit, Risiken und Revisionspolitik

This operation carries the risks of both septoplasty and rhinoplasty.

• Persistent or recurrent blockage
• A hole in the septum causing crusting or whistling
• Residual crookedness, since cartilage has memory and can drift back
• Dissatisfaction with appearance and need for revision, which affects roughly 5 to 15 percent in published series
• Nosebleed in the first two weeks
• Taubheit der Spitze und der oberen Zähne für einige Monate
• Graft shifting, showing or, with rib, warping
• Infektion, die ungewöhnlich ist
