Deviation Surgery
Deviation is one of the most common reasons for nose surgeries. When deviation is mentioned, you can understand that the nose structure is curved from the inside or from the outside. Nasal congestion, which occurs due to the shift of the middle wall of the nose over the midline, refers to curvature deviation.
The structure of the nose is quite complicated. Each structure and layer is based on the ability of the nose to receive sufficient oxygen to the body. The presence of any problems in these structures impairs the integrity and reduces the quality of the patient's breathing. Surgery may be needed at this point.
When septum deviation is applied by a doctor and his team who are experts in this field, it is one of the easiest and most successful surgeries that will improve your quality of life.
There are many factors that can lead to Nasal Curvature (Septum Deviation). The structure of the nose begins to develop when it is in the womb. This development is the 18th after birth. it continues until age.
Damage received during the development process, blows can lead to nasal curvature, as well as various health problems or congenital causes can also lead to nasal curvature. Nasal curvature is a fairly common problem.
But most septum deviation manifests itself with mild symptoms without causing breathing problems. Therefore, there is no need for any surgical procedure. However, the remaining cases of septum deviation can lead to serious breathing problems or visual problems.
Septum deviation or nasal curvature, as it is also called, can occur at any age. However, it usually occurs due to blows, accidents or damages that occur during the period up to the age of 18.
Although the nose looks quite uniform from the outside in some patients, it may be noticed that there is a serious curvature in the internal structure of the nose during routine examinations. Septum deviation can occur at birth or later.
Septum deviation manifests itself with many symptoms. At the beginning of these symptoms, of course, there is difficulty breathing. Most often, this problem is also visually followed by crookedness. In general, the symptoms of septum deviation are:
- Formation of congestion in the nasal tunnels,
- One of the nostrils is constantly blocked,
- Frequent nosebleeds,
- Sinusitis,
- Headache,
- Speaking through the nose,
- Nasal discharge,
- Waking up tired,
- Do not feel that you are not breathing enough.
After the patient applies to a specialist with these complaints, septum deviation is detected immediately during routine examinations and controls. Septum deviation is not a health problem that can be treated medically.
A surgical intervention is required to repair the curvature. In order for the nose to perform its function, the correction of curvature should be performed by a physician specialized in this field.
Septum deviation surgery is performed on people who experience nasal curvature and for whom this problem reduces the quality of life. It is important for the patient to have awareness about the surgical process. Nose surgery is an easy operation in today's technology.
However, in order for this process to be easily and successfully bypassed, it is important that the doctor who performs the operation is a successful, experienced and expert person in his field. After the operation, breathing problems will occur until the recovery period is completed.
The reason for this is the elements such as crusting that accumulates in the nose, bleeding that occurs due to surgery can accumulate. From the first month after surgery, these problems begin to ease.
Septum deviation is a surgical procedure performed to eliminate breathing and nasal curvature problems. However, if the patient also requests a change in the structure and appearance of the nose, this request can be fulfilled with realistic expectations.
After septum deviation, it is aimed to improve the patient's breathing problems. If the curvature is visually present, an aesthetic repair can also be performed according to the patient's demands
