Septoplasty Surgery Review: The Inside of the Nose Must Be Assessed Accurately

Hello. This is OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+Plus, which thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

What I’m going to introduce this time is a septoplasty surgery review that was carried out after accurately assessing the inside of the nose.

The nose is located at the center of our face, and among the facial features, it is the most three-dimensional part. When the shape of one’s nose seems to deviate from the standard we have in mind, interest in rhinoplasty naturally rises as a way to improve it.

Therefore, people who are looking into rhinoplasty often check review images to find cases with a nose shape similar to theirs. In most cases, the approach is mainly cosmetic, such as when the nose is low, upturned, bumpy with a hump, or crooked.

However, although the nose plays an important cosmetic role as mentioned above, it is also the organ responsible for breathing and smelling. Since it plays an important role in the body as a whole, rather than attempting surgery from a purely cosmetic approach, it is better to check the internal function of the nose as well before proceeding. This can help prevent revision surgery caused by functional issues after the operation.

When discussing surgical improvement of nasal function, the most common symptom is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis affects more than 70% of Korean adults; 20% is allergic rhinitis, and the remaining more than 80% falls under structural rhinitis caused by abnormalities in internal structure. Structural rhinitis includes a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis. People with these nasal congestion symptoms often look for information about septoplasty surgery reviews in order to improve them.

What is a deviated septum? It is one of the most typical causes of nasal congestion symptoms. The cartilage that serves as the partition dividing the nostrils into two is called the septum, and when this septum is crooked, it obstructs the flow of air entering through the nose and causes nasal congestion. In addition, if you look at septoplasty surgery reviews, you can see that while a deviated septum may occur on its own, there are also complex cases where nasal valve stenosis or inferior turbinate hypertrophy occur together. In the case of ordinary allergic rhinitis, a cure is difficult, and consistent medication or improved immunity is prioritized, but structural rhinitis such as a deviated septum requires improvement through surgery.

For that reason, even when cosmetic surgery is performed with functional improvement as the goal, or when cosmetic rhinoplasty is done on its own, the inside of the nose must be checked accurately so that surgery tailored to each individual can be performed. This can help prevent secondary surgery caused by postoperative shape or functional side effects.

Also, in cases where a deviated septum is present, some noses may visibly appear crooked, but conversely, even if the nose looks straight externally, it is difficult to confirm with the naked eye when the internal cartilage is bent. Therefore, even if you do not have nasal congestion symptoms, we recommend that you обязательно check whether the inside of the nose is functioning properly.

At OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+Plus, to help ensure a satisfying septoplasty surgery review, we accurately identify internal nasal issues, the condition of the nasal bone, its position, and the state of the cartilage by performing various allergy tests and functional tests before surgery, 3D CT scans, and internal endoscopic imaging. Based on the extracted data, we perform customized surgery for each individual.

The surgical method for a deviated septum involves straightening the bent septum. At this time, part of the deviated septum is removed to correct it, and the remaining septal cartilage can be used as material for cosmetic rhinoplasty.

Therefore, if you look at septoplasty surgery reviews, you can see that in many cases cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed at the same time as septoplasty on average. So when reading septoplasty surgery reviews, this is one reason why satisfaction after surgery is often higher when cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed together with functional improvement rather than when only functional surgery is done.

In addition, when cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed after septoplasty, the nasal bridge is corrected with silicone and the tip with autologous cartilage, allowing overall correction of the nose. The autologous cartilage used for the tip includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous costal cartilage, and the material suited to the individual is selected through preoperative testing.

In the case of implants used for the nasal bridge, instead of using commercially available implants as they are, they are carefully shaped by hand after considering the individual’s overall image as well as the width, length, and breadth of the nasal bridge.

As such, if you look at septoplasty surgery reviews, you will usually see many cases where functional improvement and cosmetic rhinoplasty are performed together. As mentioned earlier, even when functional rhinoplasty or cosmetic rhinoplasty is performed alone, the condition of the nose must be understood accurately so that surgery appropriate for the individual can be carried out. Therefore, for those considering rhinoplasty, we recommend carefully checking whether the medical staff have strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have abundant experience and a solid track record with the procedure, whether the necessary equipment to accurately assess the condition of your nose is available, and whether thorough aftercare is guaranteed, then comparing these factors before choosing surgery.

At OJIKO Plastic Surgery & N+Plus, we aim for a safe and satisfying septoplasty surgery review. Director Yun Hyeon-cheol personally handles everything one-on-one, from the consultation for septoplasty to the surgical plan, the procedure itself, and follow-up care, allowing you to receive a high level of medical service.

For aftercare, we issue an N+Plus membership card and provide a one-year warranty after surgery through our A/S system. In preparation for any postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the results that may occur, we also operate a surgery responsibility guarantee system. Those who have an N+Plus membership card can receive aftercare benefits at any time, providing a safer and more satisfying septoplasty surgery review.
