What is Septorhinoplasty?

Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines the correction of a deviated septum (septoplasty) with reshaping the nose (rhinoplasty). This dual-purpose surgery is designed to improve both the function and appearance of the nose. At The Face Centre, this procedure is commonly performed to address breathing difficulties, correct structural abnormalities, and enhance facial aesthetics, providing patients with both functional and cosmetic benefits.

Benefits of Septorhinoplasty: Why Consider This Procedure?

Septorhinoplasty offers numerous benefits for individuals experiencing nasal obstruction, breathing issues, or dissatisfaction with the appearance of their nose. By correcting a deviated septum and refining the shape of the nose, this procedure can significantly improve airflow, reduce snoring, and enhance overall facial harmony. At The Face Centre, our patients experience both an improved quality of life and a boost in self-confidence following their surgery.

Who is a Good Candidate for Septorhinoplasty?

During your consultation at The Face Centre, our experts will determine if Septorhinoplasty is the right solution for you based on a thorough assessment of your needs and goals.

Septorhinoplasty Procedure: What to Expect

The Septorhinoplasty procedure at The Face Centre is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes several hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the case. The surgery involves making incisions either inside the nose or along the nostrils to access and correct the deviated septum, followed by reshaping the nasal bones and cartilage to achieve the desired appearance. Our team ensures that every step is meticulously planned and executed to deliver optimal results.

Recovery and Aftercare: Post-Septorhinoplasty Care at The Face Centre

Recovery from Septorhinoplasty requires careful attention and follow-up care. After the surgery, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which typically subsides within a few weeks. At The Face Centre, we provide detailed aftercare instructions, regular check-ups, and support to ensure a smooth recovery process. Our goal is to help you achieve the best possible results with minimal downtime.

Septorhinoplasty vs. Rhinoplasty: Understanding the Differences

While Rhinoplasty focuses solely on the cosmetic reshaping of the nose, Septorhinoplasty addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns. This combined procedure not only improves the nose’s appearance but also corrects structural issues that can impede breathing. At The Face Centre, we provide comprehensive consultations to help you understand the differences and determine the best approach for your individual needs.

FAQs: Septorhinoplasty at The Face Centre

1. What is the difference between Septorhinoplasty and Rhinoplasty?

Septorhinoplasty combines two procedures: rhinoplasty, which reshapes the nose for cosmetic reasons, and septoplasty, which corrects a deviated septum to improve breathing. Rhinoplasty focuses solely on the appearance of the nose, while septorhinoplasty addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns.

2. How long does a Septorhinoplasty procedure take?

The length of the procedure varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most Septorhinoplasty surgeries take around 2 to 3 hours. During your consultation at The Face Centre, we’ll provide a detailed timeline specific to your treatment plan.

3. Will Septorhinoplasty help with breathing issues?

Yes, Septorhinoplasty is designed to correct breathing issues caused by a deviated septum or other structural abnormalities in the nose. By aligning the septum and improving nasal airflow, many patients experience significant improvements in their ability to breathe.

4. How long is the recovery period after Septorhinoplasty?

Initial recovery from Septorhinoplasty takes about 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, swelling and bruising are common. Full recovery, including the final settling of your nose's appearance, can take several months. Our team at The Face Centre will guide you through the recovery process and ensure you have the support you need.

5. Will I have visible scars after Septorhinoplasty?

In most cases, Septorhinoplasty involves incisions inside the nose, leaving no visible scars. If external incisions are necessary, they are typically placed discreetly along the natural creases of the nose, making any scars nearly invisible after healing.

6. Can Septorhinoplasty change the shape of my nose?

Yes, along with correcting functional issues, Septorhinoplasty can reshape the nose to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance. During your consultation at The Face Centre, we will discuss your cosmetic goals and develop a plan to enhance both form and function.

7. Are there any risks associated with Septorhinoplasty?

Like any surgical procedure, Septorhinoplasty carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, these risks are minimal when performed by experienced surgeons. At The Face Centre, our experts take every precaution to ensure your safety and the best possible outcome.

8. How do I know if I’m a good candidate for Septorhinoplasty?

If you experience difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum or are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, you may be a good candidate for Septorhinoplasty. During your consultation at The Face Centre, we will evaluate your nasal structure, discuss your concerns, and determine if this procedure is right for you.

9. When can I return to normal activities after Septorhinoplasty?

Most patients can return to light activities, including work, within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. However, you should avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and contact sports for at least 4 to 6 weeks. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your recovery.

10. How long do the results of Septorhinoplasty last?

The results of Septorhinoplasty are generally long-lasting. Once the nose has healed, improvements in both function and appearance are permanent. While natural aging may affect the nose's appearance over time, the structural changes made during the procedure will remain.
