Septorhinoplasty in Turkey

Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct or reshape the bone and cartilage structures in the nose called nasal septum. The nasal septum is the bone and cartilage structure that divides the nasal cavity into two semicircles. During this procedure, curvatures in the nose, breathing difficulties or nasal shape disorders are tried to be corrected.

This surgical procedure can be performed both for aesthetic purposes and can also be used in people who have respiratory problems due to nasal septum curvature. This surgical procedure to correct nasal functions and improve the appearance is personalized and different techniques can be used according to the surgeon’s assessment.

Septorhinoplasty Methods

• Classic Septorhinoplasty

This is a traditional approach combining septoplasty (correcting the deviated septum) with rhinoplasty (reshaping the external appearance of the nose). Surgeons make incisions either inside the nostrils or across the columella (the strip of tissue between the nostrils) to access and modify the nasal structures.

• Endoscopic Septorhinoplasty

This technique involves using an endoscope, a thin tube with a camera attached, to perform the surgery. It allows the surgeon to view the internal structures of the nose without making large incisions. Endoscopic septorhinoplasty is often less invasive and can lead to reduced scarring and quicker recovery compared to classic septorhinoplasty.

• Endonasal Septorhinoplasty

Similar to endoscopic septorhinoplasty, this procedure is performed through the nostrils (endonasal approach) without external incisions. It involves accessing and modifying the internal nasal structures while also addressing any external cosmetic concerns.
