Nasal Breathing

İstanbul’da Septoplasti

Septoplasti corrects a deviated nasal septum to improve airflow through the nose. It may be performed alone or combined with rhinoplasty when both breathing and shape are being addressed.

What the septum does

The septum is the wall of cartilage and bone dividing the two nasal passages. If it is significantly deviated, it can narrow airflow, contribute to congestion, or worsen breathing on one or both sides.

Symptoms and evaluation

Symptoms may include blocked nasal breathing, mouth breathing, poor sleep, recurrent congestion, or difficulty during exercise. Evaluation may include nasal examination and discussion of allergies, trauma, prior surgery, and turbinate size.

Surgery and recovery

Septoplasti reshapes or repositions deviated septal structures while preserving support. Internal splints may be used temporarily. Congestion is common early and improves as swelling settles.

Combination with rhinoplasty

If external nasal shape, nasal valve support, or the bridge/tip also need correction, septoplasty may be part of septorhinoplasty rather than a standalone operation.

Riskler and limitations

Riskler include bleeding, infection, septal perforation, persistent obstruction, change in nasal shape, numbness, crusting, reduced smell, and need for additional surgery.

Common questions

Does septoplasty change the outside of the nose?

Septoplasti mainly treats the internal septum. External changes usually require septorhinoplasty.

Can septoplasty cure all congestion?

No. Allergies, turbinate enlargement, sinus disease, and valve weakness may also affect airflow.

Bu sayfa tıbbi tavsiye midir?

Hayır. Bu sayfa genel bilgilendirme amaçlıdır. Uygunluk, teknik, iyileşme, riskler ve ücret için doğrudan klinik muayene gerekir.

İlk görüşme online olabilir mi?

İlk online değerlendirme mümkün olabilir. Uluslararası hastalar İstanbul’a gelmeden önce genellikle fotoğraflarını ve hedeflerini klinik ekibiyle paylaşarak başlar.

Fonksiyon ve görünüm birlikte ele alınabilir mi?

Birçok burun işleminde nefes alma ve görünüm birlikte değerlendirilir. Nihai plan anatomiye ve muayeneye bağlıdır.
