Things to Understand Accurately About Septal Surgery Reviews

Hello. We are OjiKo Hospital & N Plus Clinic, which thinks only of your beautiful and healthy nose.

The content we are introducing this time is about septal surgery reviews.

Recently, as the seasons change, more and more people are complaining of nasal congestion. The causes of nasal congestion can be said to come mostly from rhinitis. Rhinitis can be divided into allergic rhinitis and structural rhinitis such as deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. In the case of allergic rhinitis, since it appears temporarily, medication or improving immunity may be prioritized, and a complete cure is difficult. However, in the case of structural rhinitis, improvement through surgery is possible, so many people suspect structural rhinitis when nasal congestion continues for a long time, and at this time they often look up septal surgery reviews.

What is rhinitis? It is a condition that more than 70% of adults in Korea have, so it can be said to be common. Of this percentage, 20% is allergic rhinitis, and the remaining 80% can be said to be structural rhinitis caused by internal functional abnormalities. The most representative symptom is nasal congestion, and when nasal congestion occurs, many people mistake it for allergic rhinitis or a cold, which often leads to chronic rhinitis. If it develops into chronic rhinitis, the brain may not receive enough oxygen, leading to headaches, migraines, reduced concentration, and other issues that can cause discomfort in daily life. Also, because it is impossible to tell with the naked eye whether rhinitis is allergic or structural, the condition of the nose can only be accurately identified when examinations are conducted using equipment.

Among structural rhinitis, deviated septum accounts for the largest portion. A septum refers to the cartilage that serves as a partition dividing the nostrils in half, and a deviated septum refers to a state in which this septum is bent. Because the bent septum obstructs the airflow entering the nose, nasal congestion occurs,

Since the location and degree of septal deviation, as well as the symptoms, differ from person to person, confirmation through equipment is possible. In some cases, a crooked external nasal shape may make this visible as well, but accurate confirmation should also be made after checking with equipment so that septal surgery reviews suited to each individual's condition can be carried out.

Also, if you look into septal surgery reviews, you will see that deviated septum sometimes occurs on its own, but in other cases it is combined with inferior turbinate hypertrophy or nasal valve stenosis. In the case of inferior turbinate hypertrophy, the inferior turbinate, the tissue made of flesh inside the nose, becomes enlarged and obstructs airflow into the nose. Nasal valve stenosis is a state in which the space of the nasal valve, which serves as the roof of the nose, becomes narrow and constricted, which also obstructs airflow into the nose.

As such, even with nasal congestion symptoms, various causes such as a cold, allergic rhinitis, and structural rhinitis including deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis require appropriate treatment according to the symptoms. Because it is difficult to identify the cause with the naked eye based on nasal congestion alone, it is necessary to accurately determine the cause and problem through equipment before proceeding with surgery. This can help prevent further deterioration of function.

Therefore, to achieve satisfactory septal surgery reviews, it is helpful to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, abundant surgical experience and expertise, and reliable aftercare, and then decide on surgery.

At OjiKo Hospital & N Plus Clinic, to ensure satisfactory septal surgery reviews, we identify the causes of rhinitis through various allergy tests, 3D-CT imaging, and internal endoscopic imaging before surgery, accurately determine the degree of cartilage deviation, the location of the cartilage, and combined symptoms, and then establish a surgical plan based on reliable data. We perform septal surgery using a surgical method tailored to each individual.

If you look at septal surgery reviews, you can see that some procedures are performed alone, while others are done together with combined symptoms or cosmetic nose surgery. Before septal surgery, the degree of septal deviation, inferior turbinate enlargement, and nasal valve stenosis are accurately identified through preoperative examinations. Then, the deviated septal cartilage is minimally removed and straightened through an incision inside the nose, and the nasal tip is corrected using autologous cartilage. When complex symptoms are present, additional correction is performed through laser or other surgical methods.

In addition, when performing septal surgery, cosmetic nose surgery that corrects the nasal tip using minimally removed septal cartilage is possible in order to correct the deviated septum. Therefore, if you check septal surgery reviews, the level of satisfaction may be higher.

If cosmetic nose surgery is additionally performed after septal surgery, the materials commonly used are silicone for the bridge of the nose and autologous cartilage for the nasal tip. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage, and the appropriate material is selected and used based on the individual's condition through preoperative examinations.

Regarding the silicone used for the bridge of the nose, at N Plus Clinic we aim for a satisfying septal nose surgery by minimizing an artificial look rather than focusing only on a high nose bridge. We do not use silicone as is; instead, we carefully shape the silicone by hand after considering various aspects such as the individual's overall image, the width of the nasal bridge, its length, and its breadth.

At OjiKo Hospital & N Plus Clinic, CEO Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every process one-to-one, from septal surgery consultation to surgical planning, procedure, treatment, and follow-up care.

Lastly, the aftercare provided after surgery includes a free A/S system guaranteed for one year after surgery, and a surgical responsibility guarantee system that prepares for any situation, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with appearance. With thorough aftercare, it can lead to a satisfactory septal surgery review.
