Rhinoplasty / Septoplasty  for Crooked Nose

Septoplasty is a part of rhinoplasty that deals with a crooked nose. This procedure is used to correct a deviated nasal septum, which is a common cause of breathing difficulties and snoring. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions inside the nostrils and reshape the nasal septum to create a more open nasal passage. 

Septoplasty can be performed as an outpatient procedure and typically takes about an hour to complete. Recovery time is usually minimal, with most patients able to return to work or school within a week. It can significantly improve breathing and quality of life for those with a deviated septum.

Aside from correcting a crooked nose, a nose job can also address other cosmetic concerns, such as a bulbous tip or a hump on the bridge of the nose. It can also improve breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum or other structural abnormalities.

Are you Unhappy with Your Nose Shape or Size?

Rhinoplasty (nose job) is a surgical procedure that is performed to improve the appearance and/or functionality of the nose for a lifetime. This is an effective cosmetic and medical procedure that enhances the facial profile by making the nose proportionate to other facial features as well as relieving breathing problems.

So, those who are not happy with the shape and size of their nose can go for this surgery to get the desired changes done. Dr. Dushyanth Kalva is one of the best rhinoplasty doctors in Hyderabad who is practicing at Inform Clinics. He has performed several successful rhinoplasty surgeries to address both functional and cosmetic concerns of his patients.

Rhinoplasty is a safe, effective, and reliable surgical procedure when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon.

What cosmetic nose concerns can be corrected with rhinoplasty?

• A prominent nasal hump or depression on the nasal bridge.

• Enlarged, bulbous, upturned, drooping, or hooked nose tip.

• Large, upturned, or wide nostrils.

• Broken or crooked nose.

• Large, protruding nose.

• Nose width at the nasal bridge or in position and size of nostrils.

Rhinoplasty is also performed to correct breathing problems caused due to deviated septum and treat trauma or accidental nose injuries.

The procedure of rhinoplasty surgery in Hyderabad

The rhinoplasty surgery is carried out under local or general anaesthesia. It is performed in either of the following ways:

1. Closed rhinoplasty- Small cuts are made inside the nose, hence are hidden. This technique allows for a quick operation with minimum swelling during recovery time.

2. Open rhinoplasty- For complex nasal structures, small incisions are made in the columellar region (i.e., the nasal septum separating the two nostrils) to allow accurate operation. This allows better view of the inside of the nose, hence helping the surgeon to be more precise.

In both of these procedures, the skin covering nasal bone and cartilages is lifted through incisions to provide access to the internal nasal structure. This helps to reshape the nose structure. Once the nose is sculpted according to the desired shape, the lifted skin and tissues are then re-draped to close the incisions. For some days, post-operation, the nose is covered with surgical bandages, and nasal gauze packing or splints may be used to provide additional support to the operated nose.

Well defined nose can enhance the overall appearance of an individual. The nose is one of the most prominent features of the face, and people who are not happy with the shape and size of their nose can go for rhinoplasty surgery to get the desired nose shape.

Correction/ Alterations made with Rhinoplasty surgery

• The nasal tip is made well-defined, balanced, elegant, and natural-looking. This is possible by reshaping and redefining the cartilage found in the nose tip using sculpturing techniques.

• An odd-looking nose that has abnormal nostril size, i.e., either too narrow, too wide, or too large, can be altered by readjusting the nostrils. For a nose that is too wide, the excess cartilage is trimmed, and if required, additional bone is also shaved. If the nose is too narrow, it can be widened using a cartilage graft.

• An injured nose results in the damage or displacement of the nasal structure. A broken nose can be repaired by reshaping the cartilage and, in some cases, resetting broken nasal bones to provide the normal nose shape and clear nasal passage for proper airflow. In the case of a crooked nose or a deviated nasal septum, rhinoplasty can be performed to straighten it.

• For the over projected nose, the surplus cartilage of the nose tip is cut off, and the large nose is repositioned.

Suffering from difficulty in breathing and sinus infection due to a crooked nasal septum?

A human nose consists of a nasal septum (a thin middle wall) that separates the two nostrils and is made up of bone and cartilage. Some nose injuries or a birth defect can result in a slightly off-center septum. This may cause one of the nasal passages to be smaller than the other, thereby restricting the exchange of gases and making breathing difficult. It may also lead to facial pain, nose bleeding, or an increased chance of sinus infections because of poor drainage. Septoplasty surgery is the only option available to fix this problem. Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, Rhinoplasty and Nose Surgeon in Hyderabad, performs all types of nose corrective surgery that corrects cosmetic and medical nose defects. Dr. Kalva performs all these facial nose reconstructive procedures with his team of experts and makes sure the patient can get the desired results with every surgical procedure.

Septoplasty is an invasive procedure that helps to reposition the middle part of the nose by cutting, removing, and readjusting the nose cartilage, skin, and bone in the proper place to get the desired results. A straightened septum then functions effectively, allows better airflow through the nose, and offers one a better quality of life.

How to prepare for septoplasty?

Before going for the surgery, the surgeon recommends the patient to stop using blood thinning medication and alcohol intake about 1-2 weeks before the surgery. The patient is also requested to eat a healthy diet and take enough rest before going for the surgery. The surgeon also takes some pictures of the nose-deviated septum to compare with the desired results after treatment. Smoking must also be stopped as it may slow down the healing process after the surgery. At Inform Clinics, Dr. Dushyanth Kalva, the best cosmetic surgeon in Hyderabad performs the best-deviated septum surgery in Hyderabad that helps to correct all medical concerns related to the nose and nasal passage.

What happens during septoplasty?

The septoplasty surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia (depending on the severity of the condition) to manage pain and discomfort associated with this procedure. Then based on the correction required, the surgeon makes a small cut on one side of the nose to get access to the septum. Next, a thin layer of mucous membrane covering the septum is lifted to reposition the septum. 

If there is an extra bone or cartilage, they are removed, and finally, the mucous membrane is kept back in the right position. Absorbable sutures are required to hold the septum and its mucous covering in place. In some cases, silicone splints may be used to provide additional support to the corrected septum or to give a proper shape to the nose after surgery. To prevent nose bleeding after operation, nose packing is also done on the operated nose to support the treated area. The overall procedure takes about 1-3 hours to be completed.

The results are life-changing as the patient gets the best cosmetic results and improved functioning of the nose with this surgery. Due to better airflow through the nose, there is elimination or reduction of snoring and sleep apnea. There will be fewer chances of getting sinus infections after the septoplasty surgery as the deviated septum is corrected.

Post-surgery tips for quick recovery after septoplasty surgery:

Depending upon the extent of the surgery following things shall be kept in mind:

• Do keep the head in an elevated position while sleeping.

• For some weeks, avoid blowing the nose.

• Wear garments that are easy to wear and closes in front. Do not put on clothes that involve touching over the head, thereby putting unnecessary pressure on the treated nose.

• Do not indulge in any strenuous activities such as jogging and aerobics for a few weeks or play any contact sports that can increase the risk of nose injury or bleeding. 

• Avoid heavy weight lifting and gym for some days.

• Take plenty of rest.

• Do not wear spectacles for a few weeks.

• The patient shall return home with someone/attendant after surgery, as there is still a chance of the patient feeling drowsy.

• Avoid stress, smoking, and alcohol.
