Experience the difference with septorhinoplasty by Dr. Mourad in NYC.
A septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines the correction of both the nasal septum and the external shape of the nose. It involves adjusting the septum (the bone and cartilage separating the nasal passages), as well as the nasal bones and cartilage structures to improve breathing, correct a crooked nose, or for cosmetic reasons. This procedure aims to address both functional and aesthetic concerns related to the nose, enhancing the patient’s quality of life and overall appearance.
A deviated septum can be caused by several factors:
A septorhinoplasty is performed using a combination of techniques to address both the nasal septum and the external shape of the nose. The procedure typically takes 1.5-3 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
The patient is given either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Dr. Mourad chooses either an open or closed approach. In an open technique, an incision is made across the columella (the tissue between the nostrils), allowing the surgeon to lift the skin and access the nasal cartilage and bones. In a closed technique, all incisions are made within the nostrils, leaving no visible scars.
The surgeon corrects the deviated septum by straightening the bone and cartilage, removing any excess tissue or obstructions, and repositioning the septum in the midline.
Dr. Mourad addresses any external nasal deformities by adjusting the nasal bones and cartilage structures. This may involve removing or adding cartilage, reshaping the nasal bones, or using cartilage or bone grafts to achieve the desired shape.
Once the necessary adjustments have been made, the surgeon repositions the skin over the nose’s new shape and closes the incisions with sutures.
Internal splints, a plastic splint, or packing may be applied to support the nose and maintain its new shape during the recovery process.
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local or general anesthesia. The following is a general overview of the process of a septoplasty:
The patient is given local or general anesthesia to ensure they are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure.
The surgeon makes an incision on the inside of the nose to access the septum.
The surgeon repositions the deviated septum by trimming, repositioning, or replacing parts of the cartilage and bone.
The incision is then closed with dissolvable stitches, and nasal packing or splints may be placed inside the nose to support the septum during the healing process.
After the procedure, the patient is monitored in the recovery area until they are awake and stable enough to go home. Most patients can go home the same day, but some may need to stay overnight for observation.
The patient will have a follow-up appointment with the surgeon to remove any nasal packing or splints and to check on the healing progress.
The recovery period after septoplasty can take a few weeks, during which time the patient should avoid activities that could disrupt the healing process, such as blowing their nose or strenuous exercise. The surgeon will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care and follow-up appointments to monitor the healing progress.
Common nasal conditions that may require septoplasty include insufficient nasal drainage, intermittent nasal obstruction, nasal blockage, and a crooked shape of the nasal septum.
While septoplasty may improve the cosmetic appearance of the nose in some cases, it is primarily performed for functional reasons, such as improving nasal function and airflow.
The recovery process typically takes 2-3 weeks, during which time the patient should avoid strenuous activities and follow the recovery instructions provided by their surgeon. Sensation of nasal congestion and mucus membrane healing can take 3-6 months.
Some of the biggest concerns with septoplasty include health concerns, such as infection or bleeding, and the possibility of insufficient improvement in nasal function.
Yes, septoplasty is an effective procedure for improving nasal function and airflow. The improvement in nasal function and airflow is usually significant after the surgery.
Yes, septoplasty can be combined with other nose surgeries, such as rhinoplasty or nasal valve surgery, for patients who require additional improvement in nasal function or cosmetic appearance.
Patients can schedule a private consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or a double board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with septoplasty patients. Virtual consultations are also available. Patients can speak with patient advisers and even see real patient photos before and after their procedure.
Recovery from septoplasty is generally not difficult, and patients can usually return to normal activities within a couple of weeks. However, patients should follow the recovery instructions provided by their surgeon to ensure a smooth recovery.
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that can be complex, as it involves delicate nasal structures and requires a high level of precision to achieve optimal results. The procedure typically involves repositioning the cartilage and bone of the septum to improve nasal airflow and relieve breathing difficulties. Depending on the severity of the deviated septum and the extent of the correction needed, the procedure may take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to complete. Septoplasty can be performed under local or general anesthesia, and it is usually done on an outpatient basis, meaning the patient can go home the same day. While the procedure can be complex, it is considered a safe and effective treatment option for those suffering from nasal obstruction and other related symptoms. As with any surgery, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with an experienced ENT surgeon and to carefully follow pre- and post-operative instructions to optimize results and minimize potential complications.
Yes. You can have a turbinate reduction or valve repair to further improve breathing. You can also have sinus surgery or removal of polyps to improve sinus function. If you have a bump or other areas of your face that you would like addressed then you can have cosmetic surgery at the same time.
The cost of a septorhinoplasty performed by Dr. Mourad at MouradNYC in New York can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the specific needs of the patient. To obtain an accurate estimate for a septorhinoplasty with Dr. Mourad, it’s best to schedule a personalized consultation to discuss your concerns and goals.
During the consultation, Dr. Mourad will evaluate your individual needs and provide a comprehensive cost estimate that includes the surgeon’s fees, anesthesia fees, facility fees, and any necessary preoperative and postoperative care. Keep in mind that insurance coverage may also affect the cost. If the procedure is performed for functional reasons, such as correcting a deviated septum or airway obstruction, insurance may cover part or all of the costs. However, if the procedure is solely for cosmetic reasons, insurance is less likely to cover the expenses.
It’s essential to discuss the costs with Dr. Mourad and your insurance company to understand your financial responsibility. Remember that when considering a septorhinoplasty, the priority should be choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon like Dr. Mourad rather than focusing solely on cost.
During the consultation, Dr. Mourad will evaluate your nasal concerns, discuss your goals, and review your medical history. He will explain the procedure in detail, including risks, benefits, and expected outcomes, and provide a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.
A septorhinoplasty procedure typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure. However, full recovery and final results may take several months as the swelling subsides and the nose settles into its new shape.
Insurance coverage for septorhinoplasty depends on the reason for the surgery. If the procedure is performed for functional reasons, such as correcting a deviated septum or airway obstruction, insurance may cover part or all of the costs. However, if the procedure is solely for cosmetic reasons, insurance is less likely to cover the expenses. It’s essential to discuss the costs with Dr. Mourad and your insurance company to understand your financial responsibility.
Dr. Mourad will provide you with specific preoperative instructions to follow. These may include stopping certain medications or supplements, quitting smoking, arranging for transportation and postoperative care, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle leading up to the surgery.
The results of a septorhinoplasty are typically long-lasting, as the procedure aims to create a stable and functional nasal structure. However, factors such as aging, injuries, or medical conditions may affect the long-term appearance and function of the nose.
An open septorhinoplasty involves making an incision across the columella (the skin between the nostrils), providing the surgeon with greater visibility and access to the nasal structures. In contrast, a closed septorhinoplasty involves incisions made only inside the nostrils, leaving no visible external scars. Dr. Mourad will determine the best approach for your specific needs during your consultation.
Yes, a septorhinoplasty can be combined with other facial procedures, such as chin augmentation, facelift, or eyelid surgery, to achieve overall facial harmony and balance. Discuss your goals with Dr. Mourad during your consultation, and he will help you determine the best treatment plan for your desired results.
Most patients can return to work or school within 1 to 2 weeks following a septorhinoplasty, depending on the nature of their job and individual healing progress. However, you should avoid strenuous activities, contact sports, and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks, as advised by Dr. Mourad.
To ensure the best results, follow all preoperative and postoperative care instructions provided by Dr. Mourad, attend all follow-up appointments, and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Choosing an experienced and skilled facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Mourad also plays a crucial role in achieving optimal outcomes.
In most cases, a deviated septum can be corrected with a septoplasty, a surgical procedure that specifically addresses the nasal septum’s misalignment. However, some patients may benefit from combining septoplasty with other facial plastic surgeries, such as rhinoplasty, to address both functional and cosmetic concerns which is what a septorhinoplasty is.
During the consultation, an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon such as Dr. Mourad will evaluate your nasal structure, breathing issues, and facial features to determine the best treatment plan for your specific concerns. This individualized approach ensures that any cosmetic improvements complement the functional corrections, resulting in a well-formed and aesthetically pleasing nose.
If your primary concern is nasal obstruction, Dr. Mourad may focus on septoplasty alone. However, if your deviated septum is accompanied by a crooked nose or other cosmetic deformities, a septorhinoplasty might be recommended. This procedure combines septoplasty and rhinoplasty, addressing both the nasal septum and external nasal architecture.
In some cases, patients may require revision surgery if previous procedures have not adequately corrected the issue or if complications, such as scar tissue or nasal congestion, have arisen. In these situations, the surgeon may employ advanced techniques to achieve the desired outcome while minimizing further complications.
The decision to undergo additional facial plastic surgeries alongside septoplasty will depend on your unique needs and concerns. By choosing an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon such as Dr. Mourad and engaging in a thorough preoperative evaluation process, you can ensure that your treatment plan is tailored to provide the best possible results for both functional and cosmetic improvements.
