Septoplasty Surgery Review: Accurately Identifying the Cause

Hello. This is Oziko Plastic Surgery & N Plus, which is dedicated only to your healthy and beautiful nose.

This time, we will introduce a septoplasty surgery review related to a case that was carried out through an accurate analysis of the cause.

Rhinoplasty is usually used as a means to transform your image or to correct the shape of the nose into a smooth, straight line. However, the nose is not only important for appearance, but also a functional organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell. When functional problems arise in the nose, improvement can also be pursued through rhinoplasty, and at that time you can take a closer look at septoplasty surgery reviews.

When performing rhinoplasty for problems with nasal function, the most representative symptom can be nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis is a common condition affecting more than 70% of adults in Korea, and it is divided into allergic rhinitis, which accounts for 20%, and structural rhinitis caused by internal structural abnormalities, which accounts for 80%. In the case of allergic rhinitis, because it is affected by specific substances or weather, a complete cure is difficult, and temporary symptom improvement can be expected through consistent immune strengthening and medication treatment. However, in the case of structural rhinitis, a cure is possible through surgery, and structural rhinitis includes a deviated septum, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve stenosis.

In the case of structural rhinitis, there is the common point that it obstructs the flow of air entering through the nose, causing symptoms such as nasal congestion or a runny nose. However, since each condition is different, the inside of the nose must be checked through equipment so that surgery appropriate for the symptoms can be performed. The most representative cause of structural rhinitis is a deviated septum. A deviated septum refers to a condition in which the septum dividing the nostrils is bent. More specifically, the septal cartilage bends and obstructs the breathing passage, causing nasal congestion. Through septoplasty surgery, nasal congestion can be completely cured, and it would be good to refer to septoplasty surgery reviews.

In the case of a deviated septum, if the symptoms are not severe, treatment or surgery may not be necessary. However, if the symptoms worsen, there is a high possibility of developing into chronic rhinitis, so it is important to accurately check the condition inside the nose. If it develops into chronic rhinitis, enough oxygen cannot be supplied to the brain, which can lead to headaches, migraines, decreased concentration, chronic fatigue, and loss of motivation, causing major inconvenience in daily life. In such cases, checking septoplasty surgery reviews can be very helpful.

Also, if you refer to septoplasty surgery reviews, there are many cases where a deviated septum occurs alone, but there are also many cases where it progresses in combination with nasal valve stenosis and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Therefore, accurately identifying these causes and proceeding with surgery according to the diagnosis can help prevent recurrence of the deviated septum.

If you look at cases such as septoplasty surgery reviews, each person has different characteristics such as the bent state of the nose, the condition of the cartilage, the position of the cartilage, and the condition of the skin. Since these internal causes cannot be confirmed with the naked eye, in order to accurately identify even complex symptoms, it is safe and can lead to a more satisfying septoplasty surgery review if surgery is performed after accurately checking the condition of the nose through equipment.

At Oziko Plastic Surgery & N Plus, to ensure that safe and satisfying septoplasty surgery reviews can be achieved, we accurately assess the current condition of the nose before surgery through 3D-CT scans, internal endoscopy, various allergy tests, and internal nasal function tests. Based on the extracted data, we establish a plan and set the method and materials before proceeding with surgery.

As for the septoplasty method, we accurately assess the degree of septal deviation, whether the inferior turbinates are enlarged, and the degree of nasal valve stenosis, then make an incision inside the nose and correct the bent septal cartilage by minimally removing it. If complex symptoms are present, lasers and various surgical methods are additionally used to address the functional issues.

In addition, during septoplasty, the septal cartilage is minimized and removed to correct the bent septum. At this time, the remaining septal cartilage after surgery can also be used as a material for cosmetic rhinoplasty, allowing both correction of nasal obstruction and cosmetic rhinoplasty to be performed at the same time, which can lead to highly satisfying septoplasty surgery reviews for many people.

After correcting a deviated septum, cosmetic rhinoplasty can be chosen as an additional procedure. In cosmetic rhinoplasty, the bridge of the nose is typically corrected with silicone, and the tip of the nose is corrected using autologous cartilage. Autologous cartilage includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage. The material is selected in a way that suits each individual during the preoperative examination.

As for the silicone used for the nasal bridge, rather than using a commercially available silicone product as is, a custom-designed implant is used after carefully shaping it by hand while considering the individual's overall image, the width, length, breadth, and height of the nasal bridge, and other factors.

As you can see from septoplasty surgery reviews like this, there are many cases in which two or more surgeries are performed together for septoplasty. Therefore, it is important to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether the necessary equipment to accurately assess the condition of your nose is available, and whether postoperative care can be reliably guaranteed before choosing surgery. This can help prevent recurrence of the deviated septum.

At Oziko Plastic Surgery & N Plus, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles everything one-on-one—from consultation related to septoplasty surgery, to planning, performance, treatment, and follow-up visits—so you can expect a satisfying septoplasty surgery experience from before the surgery through aftercare.

The postoperative care provided after surgery also includes a free after-service system guaranteed for one year after surgery, as well as a surgery responsibility guarantee system prepared for any situation that may arise after surgery, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the appearance. Those who hold an N Plus membership card can receive aftercare benefits at any time.

That concludes the information about septoplasty surgery reviews at Oziko Plastic Surgery & N Plus, where the cause was analyzed accurately. I hope this article will be of great help to those who are currently considering rhinoplasty due to nasal congestion caused by rhinitis. Thank you.
