Deviation surgery is actually not very difficult, but there is an old fear of tampons among the public. However, tampons are no longer a problem. Techniques in which no tampon is placed or in which tampons are placed through which the patient can breathe, make the patient feel better by allowing him to breathe more easily. Although many patients diagnosed with deviation surgery hesitate from this operation, in fact, deviation treatment is not a surgery to fear at all and prevents many discomforts that the patient may experience in the future, especially hearing problems.
What is deviation?
Briefly defined, deviation means the curvature of the cartilage and bone wall in the middle of the nose. The most serious complaint caused by deviation is nasal congestion. In such a case, the patient may feel that he cannot breathe sufficiently through his nose, especially when exerting himself, and that his mouth is dry and rusty when he wakes up in the morning. Deviation can contribute to snoring, can lead to pharyngitis as it causes continuous mouth breathing, and can predispose to sinusitis and nosebleeds. Although deviation surgeries can be performed with local anesthesia or sedation, general anesthesia is now preferred for patient comfort and for the surgeon to work more smoothly.
From what age can deviation surgery be performed?
The classically accepted lower age limit for deviation surgery is 18. It has been reported in the literature that surgery can be performed at younger ages in special cases.
What is turbinate?
Turbinate is the name of the nasal meatus sector located on both side walls of the nose. There are 3 pairs of turbinates in the nose: lower, middle and upper turbinates.
What can enlarged nasal flesh cause?
Physiologically, in a framework we call the nasal cycle, the lower nasal concha humidifies, warms and filters the air by periodically swelling with blood, one on the right and one on the left. For this reason, even in someone who has no deviation, one side of the nose can be felt more clearly than the other at any time. However, if an abnormal growth occurs in these meats, it may cause nasal congestion. Especially in patients with deviation, the nasal concha on one side is exposed to more extreme air and swells permanently over time, so the nose can become completely blocked. In addition, the middle nasal concha may swell with air like a balloon (concha bullosa), blocking the mouth of the sinuses and predisposing to sinusitis, or pushing the wall in the middle of the nose and causing deviation.
Who gets nasal enlargement?
Nasal polyps can be referred to as “nasal polyps” among the public. Likewise, the adenoid in the nasal area behind the nose is popularly called nasal flesh. In fact, the nasal concha is located in the front of the nose and inside the nose.
Nasal cone is a structure within the nose that is found in every human being. However, nasal flesh enlargement may cause problems for the person. Especially people who work in dusty jobs and have allergies experience nasal flesh enlargement. People who use nasal sprays for a long time and in incorrect doses may also experience nasal flesh enlargement.
Nasal flesh enlargement may be caused by a structural feature. Especially in people with cartilage curvature in the nose, nasal flesh enlargement occurs. At the same time, nasal enlargement occurs more frequently when people with allergies work in dusty environments.
While nasal flesh enlargement may be a temporary condition in allergic patients, recurrent allergy attacks and the use of nasal spray medications may make nasal flesh enlargement permanent.
How is deviation surgery performed?
Although deviation surgeries can be performed with local anesthesia or sedation, general anesthesia is preferred at these times for the comfort of the patient and for the surgeon to work more easily.
Before deviation surgery
Stay away from aspirin, ibuprfen or medications containing vitamin E 2 weeks before the surgery. This is an extremely serious thing to remember if you buy a medicine from the pharmacy or doctor. Many painkillers and cold medications contain these substances. Painkillers such as Vermidon and Novalgin can be used when necessary. We stay away from all tobacco containing nicotine, such as cigarettes, pipes and cigars. Nicotine can affect healthy blood circulation and ultimately a successful surgery outcome. However, it puts you in a higher risk group during anesthesia. Vitamin C 1000 mt 3 times a day. can be taken as . The reason is that vitamin C helps wound healing. 1 week before surgery: Laboratory, ECG, chest x-ray and eye examination if necessary If it is thin, it will be removed on the 2nd day. If you have a cast, it will be removed or replaced on the 5th day and a new cast can be made. On the 10th day, the cast is completely removed and the massage begins. It usually takes up to 3 months for the swelling to disappear completely to achieve the targeted result. During this period, skin thickness plays an especially important role. In patients with thick nasal skin or who have previously undergone a nasal surgical intervention, it may take between 3 months and a year for the skin to return to its previous thickness.
In this surgery, there is much less bruising and swelling than the standard Rhinoplasty (aesthetic nose surgery) surgery, and the return to normal life is quite short after this procedure and there is usually no pain.
A patient who has decided to have rhinoplasty should also have information about normal rhinoplasty surgery.
The nose is a characteristic special organ located in the center of the face and affects the expression in every aspect. It has width, height, depth and very important functions. Its shape varies from person to person. The results obtained in aesthetic nose surgeries are rather than a standard nose; It must be designed specifically for each patient, and efforts must be made to obtain a natural result that suits each patient’s face shape and proportions. The internal proportions of the nose and its proportions in relation to the face, its internal angles and the angles it makes with the face should be evaluated in detail, and planning should be done in a detailed discussion with the patient, taking into account the patient’s expectations.
The most important step that a person who wants to have aesthetic nose surgery should take is to consult a plastic surgeon. The better the patient can define his expectations and current problems before the surgery and explain this to the doctor who will perform the surgery, the more the result will be what he wants after the surgery.
When planning aesthetic nose surgery, it is very important to determine whether you have had an accident or trauma before, whether you have had surgery, or whether you have some congenital problems.
Having breathing problems does not prevent having plastic surgery. Both problems can be easily treated with the same surgery.
People who want to have aesthetic nose surgery should clearly explain to their doctors their expectations about looking and feeling better after surgery, keeping in mind that the result they desire is correction, not perfection.
In short, aesthetic nose surgery, that is, rhinoplasty, can give your nose a new shape, but it cannot direct the flow of your life.
