A combination to improve respiratory function and nose aesthetic function

Introduction

رینوپلاستی (Rhinoplasty) Or a cosmetic surgery is one of the most common cosmetic surgery aimed at modifying the form and size of the nose.. On the other hand, sinus surgery (Sinus Surgery) Usually for the treatment of respiratory problems caused by obstruction of sinus or chronic sinusitis (Chronic Sinusitis) Done. In cases where sinus problems have causing the nasal form or serious respiratory problems, simultaneous rhinoplasty and sinus surgery. (It is also called rhinocinoplasty or functional rhinoplasty) Can be the best therapeutic and cosmetic solution. In this article from the site of Dr. Behnam Khorrami (Isfahan nose surgeon _ Jaw surgeon of Isfahan), A full examination of this combined approach, benefits, surgical process, recovery period and expected results.

Anatomy of the nose and sinuses

Nose and Sinus Are relevant to each other in terms of performance and structure. Key structures involved in respiratory function and nasal aesthetic function are:

nasal septum (Septum): The middle wall of the nose that divides it into two parts. Septum deviation (Septum Doment) Can cause airflow obstruction.

Turbines (Turbinates): Three layers of tissue on each side of the nose that adjust the air flow and maintain moisture. Large or inflamed turbines cause nasal blockage.

Paranazal sinuses: Hollow spaces around the nose that are covered with mucosa and help ventilate, regulate pressure and mucosal production.. Chronic sinusitis (Inflammation of the sinuses) Causes disruption to these functions.

The outer walls of the nose: Includes bones and cartilage that form the overall shape of the nose and, if deformed, can cause respiratory problems and asymmetry problems..

Chronic sinusitis and its effect on the nose

1.. Definition of chronic sinusitis

Chronic sinusitis (Chronic Rhinosinusitis) Long -term inflammation of sinuses (Usually over 6 weeks) Is said to cause the following:

Chronic nasal obstruction

Mucosal secretion

Pressure or pain in the face area

Decreased sense of smell

2.. Causes of chronic sinusitis

Repeated infections

Severe allergies (allergic rhinitis)

Septum deviation

Nasal polyps (Nasal Polyps)

Growing turbines

۳. Impact on the structure of the nose

Chronic sinusitis if left untreated can cause:
Chronic swelling of the mucus and internal deformation of the nose
Chronic obstruction that causes oral breathing and sleep problems
Changing the external form of the nose due to continuous sinusoidal pressure
Structural weakness due to bone erosion and cartilage

Rhinoplasty and sinus surgery: Why are they done simultaneously?

Medical and cosmetic reasons to combine these two surgeries:

Nasal obstruction: In case of deviation of septum or large turbines, the surgeon can correct these problems during rhinoplasty..

Treatment of chronic sinusitis: Removing sinus obstruction, discharge of sinuses and modifying polyps improves respiratory function..

The structure of the structural and beauty: Nasal deformity After resolving sinus problems, it creates fit and improves the overall appearance of the face..

Functional problems: Treatment of sinus and respiratory problems helps reduce headaches, improve sleep and improve quality of life.

Rhinoplasty and sinus synthetic surgery

🔎 ۱. Endoscopic sinus surgery (Endoscopic Sinus Surgery)

Using an endoscope (The narrow tube with the camera) Enters the nose and open the sinuses.

Inflamed tissues, polyps and overcrowded mucosa.

The air flow in the sinuses improves and the respiratory function improves.

🔎 ۲. سپتوپلاستی (Septoplasty)

Correction

Removing or regenerating parts of the cartilage and septum bone

Improve respiratory path

🔎 ۳. Reduce turbines (Turbinate Reduction)

Reducing the size of swollen turbines through:

Burning extra mucosa (Radiofrequency)

Removing part of the turbine tissue

🔎 ۴. رینوپلاستی Beauty (Cosmetic Rhinoplasty)

Change the nose form (Reduce horses, raise nose, correction of asymmetry)

Consolidating the nasal structure using cartilage graft

Adjusting nasal angles to improve appearance and functionality

Combined surgical process

• Anesthesia: Usually performed under general anesthesia.
• Sinus stage: Sinus problems are first treated with endoscopy.
• Septum and turbines: Correction of septum and turbines to improve the respiratory path.
• Beauty stage: Bone deformation and nasal cartilage to improve appearance.
• Suture and dressing: Put internal and external splints to stabilize the nose.

Expected Benefits and Results

Improve respiratory function: Increasing airflow and decreasing congestion
Remove chronic sinusitis: Reducing the frequency and severity of sinus infections
Natural and beautiful appearance: Correction of nose form in harmony with other facial components
Reduce secondary complications: Such as headaches, snoring and sleep problems

recovery period

The first week: Swelling

1 to 2 weeks: Gradual reduction of inflation and improvement of respiratory function

1 to 6 months: The final shape of the nose appears

1 to 2 months: Complete improvement of sinuses

Possible side effects

Bleeding
The infection
The remaining respiratory problems (In case of incomplete correction)
Dissatisfaction with the outcome of beauty

Who is a good candidate for this surgery?

Patients with chronic sinusitis associated with respiratory problems
People with severe septum deviation
Those who are unhappy with their nose form
People with cosmetic and functional problems at the same time in the nose

Conclusion

Performing the simultaneous rhinoplasty and sinus surgery (Renosynoplasty) An effective therapeutic and beauty strategy that helps improve breathing, relieves chronic sinusitis, and nose appearance.. This hybrid surgery can improve one's quality of life and confidence by resolving structural and cosmetic problems simultaneously..
