Surgical Review for Septal Deviation, Accurately Analyzing the Cause

Hello. This is Oji Go & Plus Clinic, which thinks only about your beautiful and healthy nose.

This time, we have prepared content about a surgical review of septal deviation that was carried out after accurately analyzing the cause.

Many people look into information about rhinoplasty in order to transform their appearance. However, while our nose plays an important aesthetic role at the center of the face, it is also an organ responsible for breathing and smelling. When problems arise with these functional aspects of the nose, improvement can also be pursued through rhinoplasty.

When trying to improve these functional issues through surgery, one of the most representative symptoms is nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a condition that more than 70% of adults in Korea have, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis, which accounts for 20%, and structural rhinitis caused by abnormalities in the internal structure, which accounts for 80%. In the case of allergic rhinitis, symptoms occur due to specific substances or weather, so it is difficult to cure completely. Instead, symptom improvement can be expected through continuous immune strengthening and medication treatment. In the case of structural rhinitis, a cure is possible through surgery. Structural rhinitis includes septal deviation, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis.

In the case of structural rhinitis, different conditions interfere with the flow of air entering through the nose, causing symptoms such as nasal blockage or runny nose. Among these, the most representative cause is septal deviation. The cartilage that serves as a partition dividing our nostrils in half is called the septum, and when this septum is bent, it is called septal deviation. When the septal cartilage is bent and obstructs the breathing passage, nasal congestion is a common symptom, and it can be improved through septoplasty.

Septoplasty does not require treatment or surgery if the symptoms are not severe, but if the symptoms worsen, it can develop into chronic rhinitis, so it is important to check accurately. If it develops into chronic rhinitis, the brain may not receive enough oxygen, leading to headaches, migraine, reduced concentration, and loss of motivation, which can cause significant inconvenience in daily life. For that reason, checking a surgical review for septal deviation may also be helpful.

Therefore, if you look into surgical reviews for septal deviation, you will find that septal deviation can occur on its own, but there is also a high chance that it appears in combination with nasal valve stenosis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Accurately identifying these causes before proceeding can help prevent septal deviation from recurring.

Also, if you look at reviews of septoplasty, each person has different characteristics such as the degree of nasal deviation, the condition of the cartilage, the position of the cartilage, and the condition of the skin. In some cases, these can be checked visually, but the internal condition is difficult to confirm by sight. To identify combined symptoms as well, it is important to accurately examine the condition of the nose through equipment, which can lead to a more satisfying surgical review for septal deviation.

At Oji Go & Plus Clinic, to ensure a septal deviation surgery review with no recurrence, the current condition is accurately assessed through 3D-CT imaging and internal endoscopic imaging before surgery. Based on the extracted data, a plan is established, and the method and materials are set before the surgery is performed.

As for the septoplasty method, the degree of septal deviation, the presence of inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and the severity of nasal valve stenosis are accurately identified first. Then, an incision is made inside the nose, and the deviated septal cartilage is minimally removed and corrected. If combined symptoms such as inferior turbinate hypertrophy or nasal valve stenosis are present, the inferior turbinate hypertrophy is controlled through a laser, and in the case of nasal valve stenosis, surgery is performed using the method best suited to the individual among four available methods. In this way, nasal congestion is improved by applying different surgical methods according to each person’s cause, widening the breathing passage.

In addition, when performing septoplasty, some of the septum is removed to straighten the bent septum. At this time, the remaining septal cartilage after surgery can be used as material for rhinoplasty, making it possible to perform cosmetic rhinoplasty at the same time. For this reason, many people report high satisfaction with their septal deviation surgery review.

As such, if you look into reviews of septal deviation surgery, there are many cases where two or more procedures are performed together. Therefore, it is important to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have extensive relevant experience and expertise, whether the necessary equipment to accurately assess the condition of your nose is available, and whether aftercare can be reliably guaranteed before making your choice.

At Oji Go & Plus Clinic, to help ensure a more satisfying surgical review for septal deviation, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally oversees every step one-to-one, from consultation related to septal deviation surgery to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up care.

For aftercare as well, an A+ membership card is issued, and the clinic operates an after-sales service system guaranteed for one year after surgery. It also runs a surgical responsibility guarantee system for postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with appearance that may occur, so aftercare is handled thoroughly as well.
