Septorhinoplasty

What is Septorhinoplasty?

Septorhinoplasty combines septoplasty (to correct a deviated septum and improve airflow) with rhinoplasty (to refine bridge, tip, and symmetry). It’s ideal when functional and cosmetic goals are addressed together in one tailored operation.

Who is it for?

You may benefit if you have nasal blockage plus aesthetic concerns. Typical candidates include:

• Deviated septum causing obstruction, snoring, or mouth breathing
• Nasal valve collapse requiring structural support
• Dorsal hump, wide tip, or asymmetry affecting facial harmony
• Post-traumatic deformity needing both functional and cosmetic correction

How the Surgery Works

After comprehensive examination and digital planning, the airway is straightened and supported, then the nose is refined for proportional balance. Techniques are selected based on anatomy and goals.

• Septoplasty to straighten the septum and improve airflow
• Valve repair with spreader or batten grafts when needed
• Cartilage reshaping (bridge/tip) via open or closed approach
• Use of septal/ear/rib cartilage grafts for support and longevity

Recovery & Aftercare

Most patients return to desk work in 7–10 days. Breathing and definition continue to improve as swelling settles.

• External splint ~5–7 days; internal splints sometimes used for septum support
• Bruising/swelling improve over 1–3 weeks
• Sleep with head elevated; avoid strenuous activity for ~3–4 weeks
• Scheduled follow-ups to monitor healing and airway function
