Rhinoseptoplasty

Physiological disorders of nasal breathing often become a reason for concern and subsequent visits to a surgeon. However, this is not the only reason. Many patients, dissatisfied with their appearance, want to correct the shape of the nose and are ready to resort to surgery. To solve all these problems, rhinoseptoplasty is performed - a surgical intervention carried out for the purpose of treating and correcting the nose.

Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty – What’s the Difference?

Septoplasty is an operation to correct the nasal septum. According to statistics, about 80% of the population has pathological deviations or deformations of the nasal plate, but not all of them require surgical treatment. Surgical correction of the nasal septum is carried out strictly according to medical indications.

The purpose of rhinoplasty is to correct the shape of the nose and eliminate associated aesthetic defects to improve the proportions of the face. The operation is performed only at the request of the patient without a medical referral.

Rhinoseptoplasty is a type of plastic surgery that combines the techniques of two interventions at once. The manipulation allows you to improve the aesthetics of the nose and eliminate the deformation of the nasal plate, preventing possible complications in the future.

Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty – What’s the Difference?

Indications and contraindications

The reasons for performing the operation are significant problems with nasal breathing, which have arisen as a result of the curvature of the nasal septum. The pathology often becomes a consequence of childhood trauma, when the resulting damage leads to disturbances in the formation of cartilaginous and bone structures. In the case when the injury occurred after adolescence, the nasal plate can be deformed due to pathological cartilaginous growths, displacement relative to the central spine, fractures.

Also, the curvature of the nasal septum can be congenital due to the peculiarities of the formation of the skeleton.

Nasal septum deformity also leads to other serious conditions:

  • Hypertrophy of the inferior turbinates
  • Formation of polyps
  • Development of chronic ENT pathologies that do not respond to drug therapy (allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc.)

In this case, diagnosis is also an indication for rhinoseptoplasty.

Aesthetic considerations regarding the operation are based on the patient's dissatisfaction with the appearance of the nose. It concerns:

  • Back (wide, flat, high)
  • Tip (drooping, flattened, snub)
  • Asymmetrical arrangement
  • Hump, dip and other irregularities

Contraindications to surgery can be relative and absolute. In the first case, we are talking about the presence of:

  • Inflammatory diseases of the nasal mucosa
  • Infection in the active phase
  • Inflammatory lesions of the skin near the surgical area
  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding period

After eliminating temporary factors, septorhinoplasty is considered possible in the absence of other contraindications. The operation is not allowed if the patient is diagnosed with:

  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Oncological tumors
  • Chronic diseases of the heart, liver, lungs
  • Autoimmune pathologies
  • Hemodynamic disorders

Surgical intervention is also contraindicated for persons under 18 years of age.

General information about the procedure

Preparation for surgery

Rhinoseptoplasty is performed by a plastic surgeon. The doctor sets a date for the surgery, before which the patient must undergo laboratory and instrumental examination. This includes:

  • OAK
  • OAM
  • Biochemical blood test, electrolyte content
  • Coagulogram
  • Determination of blood type, Rh factor
  • HIV, hepatitis tests
  • ECG

You will also need the latest fluorography data. Additionally, rhinoscopy, MRI, CT, and radiography are prescribed.

Two weeks before the surgery, the patient should stop taking blood-thinning medications, drinking alcohol, and smoking. Patients usually do not undergo interventions on the eve of or immediately after menstruation, since at this time there is a high probability of hematomas due to low blood clotting.

Surgery techniques

Plastic surgery of the nose is a complex manipulation that requires special skills from the surgeon. Since a large amount of actions must be performed, the operation is performed under general anesthesia.

Based on the causes of the curvature, rhinoseptoplasty of the nose can be functional and reconstructive. In the first case, congenital anomalies of the septum are treated, in the second - acquired ones.

The surgery technique provides two options - closed and open. During closed surgery, incisions are made inside the nasal cavity, so they are completely invisible from the outside. However, this method is used when the surgeon does not need full visual control over the nose.

Open surgery provides more opportunities for eliminating functional and aesthetic defects. In this case, an additional dissection is made between the nostrils with separation of soft tissues.

The curvature is corrected by submucous resection of the nasal septum, when the mucous membrane is carefully separated from the cartilaginous and bone tissue, and then individual fragments are removed. Septoplasty also involves resection of protruding growths and other correction of the bone and cartilaginous structures of the nose with minimal damage.

After the manipulation is completed, a plaster cast is fixed on the nose, the nostrils are closed with turundas for a day.

Rehabilitation

The duration of the recovery period depends on the volume of the intervention and the body's regenerative abilities. The first few days the patient is in the hospital under the supervision of doctors. During this time, you cannot independently move or loosen the splint, remove the turundas. It is imperative to take medications as prescribed, do not sleep face down, and avoid tilting your head forward.

The plaster cast is removed after 10 days. By this time, the patient still has pronounced swelling and bruises, which will gradually disappear. For nasal care, it is recommended to use ointments with a pronounced regenerating effect, rinse the nasal passages with saline solutions. In order not to harm the correct tissue regeneration, it is necessary to exclude:

  • Active physical activity, sports for at least 2 months
  • Consumption of very hot or cold food, drinks
  • Smoking, alcohol
  • Wearing glasses
  • Sun exposure
  • Visiting a bathhouse, sauna

These restrictions are valid for at least 30 days, but on the recommendation of a doctor they can be extended for a longer period. Full rehabilitation requires from several months to six months, depending on the specifics of the surgical treatment performed.

When I first thought about hair transplantation, I had many doubts and questions. I heard various stories - from successful to not so much. However, my intuition told me that it could change my life for the better, and I decided to have this procedure. The process was not as scary as I imagined. Alexander Gulyaev did everything carefully and thoroughly. I felt like I was in good hands. The first few days after the operation were a little uncomfortable, but this is completely natural. At first, I came to Alexander Gulyaev for injections once a week, then once a month, once every 2 months. And now, almost a year later, I look in the mirror and see a completely different person. Not just new hair, but a huge boost of confidence. The smell of fresh air for my well-being! Who would have thought that a hair transplant could be not only a physical but also an emotional transformation? I would advise everyone who is thinking about such a procedure to take a step forward. It is really worth it!

Very good clinic, wonderful, friendly staff! I had an appointment with Gulyaev Alexander Valerievich and was extremely satisfied! We communicated with Alexander Valerievich more than once during the initial appointment and further consultations. Since I am a very scrupulous person, it was difficult for me to choose a clinic for transplantation. Alexander Valerievich was always friendly, explained everything clearly and in detail. The procedure itself was stress-free, calm, with conversation. Visually looked 15 years younger

I turned to Aleksandr Valerievich for help with eyebrow transplantation. Appearance is very important for women and the choice of a doctor was very tough. But, after the initial consultation, I had no doubts. He explained everything in great detail, reasonably relieved my fears, and also answered my questions after the procedure. The result exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Aleksandr Valerievich!

Thanks to the reviews on the site, I went to have surgery with Ivan Aleksandrovich. I confirm every kind word about him. He is a great professional in his field. The suture looks very neat and aesthetically pleasing, he preserved the shape and volume of the mammary gland, despite the fact that he had to remove a fairly large part. The doctor inspires calm, confidence and a positive attitude. Ivan Aleksandrovich is very caring towards patients. You will definitely not feel embarrassed or afraid. Everything is very comfortable, professional and somehow very sensitive in a human way. A great doctor and person!

I had bald spots on my bangs since childhood, and about 5 years ago I thought about a transplant, read about different methods and, as a result, the results, recently hair transplantation in Turkey has begun to gain popularity - I read, weighed the pros and cons. I analyzed the market in Moscow, found a clinic on recommendation where Alexander works, held a meeting - received detailed information and a description of my case. One clinic indicated 3500 FUE, another 4800 grafts. Alexander indicated that there is no point in doing more than 2800 grafts (FUE), i.e. the issue of profit and earnings was not in the first place. The choice was obvious. The operation went off without a hitch, Alexander masterfully conjured over the head, the assistant girls constantly encouraged and communicated. From the very first week, regular relief of the patient's condition and well-being, ozone weekly, after 3 months they began to inject vitamins. And the complexity of my case is that the hair is light (blond), thin and low hair density. After 5 months the result is super: clear contour, density, absence of any hints of hair loss of transplanted hair. I definitely recommend it!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my doctor, Alexander Valerievich Gulyaev, for the excellent result! I came to him with a problem of hair loss. 3,000 grafts were transplanted. The result after 5 months was already amazing! Many thanks for the professionalism in the operation and advice on maintaining the result. Special attention should be paid to the fact that the doctor is always in touch and, either himself or through the clinic staff, always answered all questions.

Проходила операцию по поводу фиброаденомы молочной железы у Ивана Александровича, и он впечатлил меня на всех этапах: от диагностики и консультации до подготовки к операции и внимательного наблюдения после неё. Его аккуратность в перевязках, готовность помочь и внимание к восстановлению — это настоящий эталон для врача. Операция была проведена настолько профессионально и ювелирно, что иногда даже другие врачи не могут сразу найти шов! Огромная благодарность! Если вы выбираете врача, могу смело рекомендовать Ивана Александровича.

Уважаемый Шерали Раджабалиевич! Огромное спасибо за быстрое, четкое и безболезненное удаление фиброаденомы из груди. Все прошло очень быстро и психологически комфортно, после операции я даже не потребовала обезболивающих. Вы внимательно и чутко отнеслись к моим просьбам, и я безмерно благодарна за то, как гладко прошел весь процесс. Шов получился аккуратный, ровный и зажил без проблем. Два разных врача на перевязках сделали комплимент вашему мастерству! Желаю вам всего наилучшего и удачи в вашей работе!

Екатерина Ч.
Рак правой молочной железы — операцию проводил Иван Александрович. Это действительно врач от Бога, с золотыми руками! Работа на высшем уровне, швов почти не видно, все сделано ювелирно. Он очень внимателен, даже когда был уставшим после нескольких операций, приходил в палату по несколько раз, чтобы узнать, как я себя чувствую. Желаю, чтобы таких врачей было больше!
