If you ever wanted to see inside a nose or become a plastic surgeon then grab your scrubs and join Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul S. Nassif in the operating room as he performs the various different procedures involved in rhinoplasty.
A distinguished facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon internationally known for his innovative surgical techniques and expertise in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty, Dr. Nassif will show you how each procedure is performed while educating you about nose surgery.
In this episode you'll discover how a Septoplasty procedure is performed and learn why it is an important part of an overall rhinoplasty plastic surgery procedure.
The nasal cavity is divided into two halves by a partition made of cartilage and bone, called the nasal septum. The two halves are the nostrils. In as many as 80% of all people, the nasal cavity is not divided equally. When this occurs, it is called a deviated septum. For most people, this imperfection does not cause any problems, but for some, it can lead to difficulty in breathing and even chronic sinus infections.
Symptoms vary from person to person, depending upon the severity of the deviation. Some only experience symptoms when they have a cold or other respiratory infection, and symptoms are usually worse on one side of the nose than the other. Symptoms include:
1. Blockage of one or both nostrils
2. Nasal congestion
3. Frequent nosebleeds
4. Frequent or chronic sinus infections
5. Sinus pain
The only way to correct a deviated septum is through surgery. A septoplasty is usually performed on an out-patient basis, with either general or local anesthesia, and usually takes 1-1 1/2 hours. This procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils, and if it is the only procedure performed, it does not cause any bruising or swelling following surgery. A septoplasty can also be performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty.
