Nose surgery and breathing
Although invisible to the eyes in the nose, problems caused by bone or cartilage tissue in the inner part (curvature of the nasal bone/septum deviation and turbinate hypertrophy) prevent healthy breathing.
In addition to interventions for aesthetic purposes, it may be necessary to perform a nose operation for health problems such as deviation, turbinate hypertrophy (enlargement). Problems that are not intervened show symptoms such as snoring, shortness of breath, dry mouth, nasal discharge and rapid fatigue, and if left untreated, they can also lead to other health problems.
.
The field of plastic surgery is not limited to correcting the aesthetic appearance of the nose. At the same time, it also covers patients’ breathing problems caused by the bone and cartilage curvature, turbinate hypertrophy.

Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty and Septorhinoplasty
Patients who apply to plastic surgeons for rhinoplasty, although they do not have complaints about breathing, the inside of the nose should be examined. Along with the patient’s intranasal anatomy, problems that prevent breathing, if any, are determined, and nasal surgeries are shaped accordingly.
The septum is the anatomical structure that divides the nasal cavity into two. This anatomical structure consists of bones and cartilage. Another of the anatomical structures involved in the function of breathing in the nasal cavity is the concha. Disorders in the anatomical structures of the septum and/or concha can impair breathing function.
.
Operations aimed at correcting disorders in these structures, that is, bone or cartilage curvatures that prevent breathing, are called Septoplasty surgery. Procedures or surgeries for the turbinates are also called Concaplasty surgery. Nose surgeries performed only for aesthetic purposes are called rhinoplasty. Nose surgeries performed for both aesthetic and functional purposes are referred to as Septorhinoplasty.
.
After these operations performed by experienced and specialized plastic surgeons, the patient will have a natural and aesthetic nose that is aesthetically suitable for his face, and he will start breathing more comfortably and healthily.
A nose surgery should aim to meet both the aesthetic expectations of the patient to the extent of possibilities and to make the breathing, which is the main function of the nose, the most perfect. If you are sure that the professional competence and experience of your plastic surgeon will offer you health and aesthetics Decoupled, you can have this surgery with peace of mind.
