Simultaneous correction
Introduction
رینوپلاستی (Rhinoplasty) And septoplasty (Septoplasty) Two important nasal surgeries that focus on improving the appearance and respiratory function of the nose. In many cases, these two operations are performed simultaneously to modify the internal structural problems of the nose, in addition to creating a fit and beautiful appearance.. The combination of these two surgeries under the heading “Functional rhinoplasty” It is known and has become one of the most popular methods of nasal surgery because.
In this article from the site of Dr. Behnam Khorrami (Isfahan nose surgeon _ Jaw surgeon of Isfahan), We will carefully examine the process, benefits, challenges and results from simultaneous rhinoplasty and septoplasty.
1. Rhinoplasty and septoplasty
(A)) What is rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgery aimed at deformity, size and proportion of the nose. This surgery can correct the following:
Symmetry
High width of the nose
Large or small nose
The angle between the nose and the upper lip
Rhinoplasty is performed in two main methods:
- Open rhinoplasty: Creating a cut in the clomella area (Peel) And lift the nose skin to access the internal structureClosed rhinoplasty: Creating internal cuts without damage to the outer skin
(B)) What is Septoplasty?
سپتوپلاستی A functional surgery that aims to modify the deviation Septum (سپتوم) Done. Septum (سپتوم) Is a structure of bone and cartilage that divides the nose into two separate holes. Deviation of this blade may cause the following problems:
Nasal congestion (Respiratory obstruction)
Sinusitis Repeated
Nasal bleeding
Puffy or sleep apnea
Sophistication
In septoplasty, the surgeon opens air paths by removing or deforming the nasal septum to improve the natural air flow..
2. Why are rhinoplasty and septoplasty performed simultaneously?
It is recommended to perform these two acts simultaneously for the following reasons:
Fixing cosmetic and functional problems simultaneously: Many patients who work to modify nasal form also have respiratory problems caused by nasal blade deflection..
Reduced recovery time: Performing two acts simultaneously eliminates the need for two separate recovery periods.
Coordination between the internal structure and the external appearance of the nose: Correction of nose without fixing functional problems may make respiratory function worse.
Reduce cost: Simultaneously two operations reduce hospital costs, anesthesia and post -operative care.
3. Suitable candidate for rhinoplasty + سپتوپلاستی
Suitable people for this action are:
People who are unhappy with their appearance because of the nose or nasal tip.
Patients with nasal cramps, puffs or respiratory problems.
People who have a nasal septum deflection and nasal deflection due to a trauma or accident.
People with congenital nose abnormalities (Like the lips of the sugar) are.
Patients who have previously performed rhinoplasty but their respiratory function has difficulty.
4. The process of performing rhinoplasty + سپتوپلاستی
Step 1: Patient preparation
Investigating General Health Status
Conducting blood tests and imaging (Like CT scans)
Consultation with the surgeon to check for patient expectations
Step 2: Anesthesia
Commonly used in general anesthesia.
In more detailed cases, topical anesthesia may be used with relaxation.
Step 3: سپتوپلاستی
Inner cutting inside the nostril
Access to the nose blade (سپتوم)
Removal of deviant or extra blades
Nasal septum fixing using internal suture or spleint
Step 4: رینوپلاستی
Open cut (Cut collumla) Or closed (Internal cut)
Bone deformation and nasal cartilage
Shrinking or increasing the height of the nasal bridge
Adjust the tip of the nose
Nasal blades correction (If needed)
Stabilization of nose structure using suture and splint
Step 5: Closing cuts and dressings
Putting internal and external splints
Use tampons to prevent bleeding
5. Postoperative care
Using a cold compress to reduce swelling
Use of painkillers and antibiotics
Failure to do heavy activity for 1 to 2 weeks
Avoid hitting the nose
Refer to the doctor to remove the splint and review the results
6. The benefits of performing rhinoplasty simultaneously + سپتوپلاستی
Simultaneous improvement of aesthetic and nasal function
Reduce the cost and time of recovery
Reduce the possibility of respiratory problems after cosmetic surgery
Improve the appearance and function of the normal nose
Creating coordination between nasal form and breathing
7. Possible side effects
Bleeding
The infection
Respiratory problems after surgery
Asymmetry of the nose
Damage to the cartilage tissue or bone
8. Results and extent of success
The results of this procedure are usually fully identified after 1 to 2 months. The degree of success depends on the following factors:
The skill of the surgeon
The amount of complexity of the problem
Post-operative care
The patient's overall health status
9. Conclusion
رینوپلاستی + Septoplasty is one of the most effective and functional nasal surgery that not only helps improve the appearance of the nose, but also improves the respiratory function by correcting the nasal septum..
