Septoplasty Surgery: A Careful Look From the Inside

Septoplasty Surgery

A careful look from the inside!

Hello, this is NPLUS Clinic, dedicated only to your beautiful and healthy nose.

This time, we are introducing septoplasty surgery.

When the seasons change, many people experience discomfort in daily life due to rhinitis symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose.

Some people may consider these mild symptoms and leave them untreated.

Because wearing a mask can make you feel even more stuffy, there have been more and more cases of people seeking septoplasty surgery.

Conditions related to the nose are often taken lightly and left untreated, but if treatment is delayed, chronic rhinitis can develop.

Therefore, we recommend checking the inside of the nose to identify the cause and receiving appropriate treatment.

Also, if nasal congestion lasts for more than two weeks, or if it occurs even when it is not the season change, you should suspect an abnormality in the structure inside the nose.

Nasal congestion is often thought to be a common cold and treated lightly, but many cases involve structural rhinitis caused by trauma or rhinitis that is congenital.

Nasal congestion caused by an internal structural abnormality is usually due to a deviated septum.

What is a deviated septum?

It is a common condition that affects 70% to 80% of Korean adults.

If breathing becomes difficult, it can lead to reduced concentration, headaches, snoring, and other issues that increase inconvenience in daily life and also raise stress levels.

That is why it is important to receive treatment quickly.

It means the septum is curved or bent.

The septum is a structure like a partition that divides our nostrils into two.

This septum is made of soft cartilage.

The septal cartilage may be bent congenitally, but it is also often bent later in life due to external impact.

When a septum that was standing straight becomes bent, one side of the nose becomes wider and the other side becomes narrower, making normal breathing through the nose difficult.

Therefore, when performing septoplasty surgery, it is necessary to undergo an accurate examination at a systematic clinic in order to check for internal structural changes.

At NPLUS, we perform surgery based on accurate test results through 3D CT and internal endoscopy.

From one-on-one patient consultations to surgical planning, the procedure, treatment, and follow-up care, all steps are carried out directly by Director Dr. Yoon Hyun-cheol.

As a transparent one-doctor clinic without shadow doctors, we take responsibility for the safety and satisfaction of our patients.

During septoplasty surgery, part of the bent septal cartilage is removed.

At this time, the septal cartilage obtained through minimal resection can be used as material to shape the tip of the nose in rhinoplasty.

Compared with artificial implants, septal cartilage is safer and allows for a more natural nasal tip shape.

Therefore, if you are planning rhinoplasty, this septal cartilage can be used effectively so that one surgery can achieve the effects of two procedures.

In addition to a deviated septum, another structural condition that causes nasal congestion is nasal valve stenosis.

The nasal valve is a roof-like space at the upper part of the septum inside the nose, and it plays a role in controlling the flow of air entering through the nose.

If narrowing of the nasal valve occurs, you may experience severe nasal congestion and headaches.

Therefore, nasal valve reconstruction surgery is a procedure that widens the narrowed nasal valve through surgical treatment to make breathing easier.

NPLUS nasal valve reconstruction surgery is performed in a customized way according to each person’s internal nasal condition, resulting in a high level of surgical completion.

With extensive surgical experience and more than 15 years of expertise, NPLUS Clinic performs septoplasty surgery using a wide range of know-how.

Because septoplasty is considered a highly difficult procedure, identifying the exact cause is important.

NPLUS improves both function and aesthetics at the same time during septoplasty, so you can expect both a beautiful nose shape and functional improvement.

In addition, NPLUS operates a surgical responsibility guarantee system for satisfying results.

NPLUS provides a free one-year aftercare service warranty after surgery, and also carries out a surgical responsibility guarantee system in preparation for any postoperative pain, inflammation, dissatisfaction with appearance, and other situations that may arise.

Customers who have an NPLUS membership card can receive aftercare benefits at any time.

That concludes the information we shared about NPLUS Clinic’s septoplasty surgery.

We hope this post is helpful to those who are suffering from nasal congestion during the season changes.

Thank you^^*
