Septo-Rhinoplasty in Bhadrak

What is Septo-Rhinoplasty?

Septo-Rhinoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure that addresses both functional and cosmetic concerns of the nose. It corrects internal issues like a deviated septum to improve breathing while also reshaping the external appearance of the nose for a more symmetrical look. This surgery offers the dual benefit of enhancing nasal airflow and boosting your self-confidence by refining the shape of your nose. Whether you're struggling with persistent nasal blockages or simply looking for a cosmetic enhancement, Septo-Rhinoplasty provides a comprehensive solution.

What Causes a Deviated Septum and Nasal Issues?

A deviated septum can be caused by:

• Congenital Defects: Some individuals are born with a deviated septum, which can worsen over time.
• Injury or Trauma: Accidents or injuries to the nose can cause misalignment of the septum, leading to breathing issues.
• Infections or Chronic Sinusitis: Repeated sinus infections can contribute to nasal blockage and discomfort.

Symptoms of a Deviated Septum

• Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
• Frequent nasal congestion or stuffiness
• Snoring or sleep apnea due to poor airflow
• Unhappiness with the appearance of the nose

How is a Deviated Septum Diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam by an ENT specialist or a plastic surgeon. At Medfin in Bhadrak, your doctor may use:

• Nasal Endoscopy: A small camera is used to examine the nasal passages for any abnormalities.
• Imaging (CT or X-Ray): To assess the severity of the deviation and provide detailed insights for surgery planning.
• Patient History: Understanding your breathing issues, nasal injuries, and cosmetic concerns.

How is Septo-Rhinoplasty Treated?

Septo-Rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and generally takes between 2-3 hours. At Medfin, our expert surgeons follow these steps:

1. Septoplasty: Correcting the deviated septum to open the nasal passages for improved breathing.
2. Rhinoplasty: Sculpting the external shape of the nose, addressing concerns like bumps, asymmetry, or nasal tip issues. The procedure is designed to minimize visible scarring, with most incisions made inside the nose.
