Septo-Rhinoplasty  

Combined Surgery for Improved Nasal Function and Aesthetics

Septoplasty, often referred to in conjunction with rhinoplasty as septo-rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure that combines two distinct operations to enhance both the function and appearance of the nose.

The septoplasty component focuses on straightening the septum, the wall of cartilage and bone inside the nose that separates the two nostrils. A crooked septum, known as a "deviated septum," can lead to breathing difficulties.

A Rhinoplasty reshapes the outer part of the nose for cosmetic reasons, allowing for changes in size or shape, or correcting deformities resulting from injury or birth defects.

The combined septo-rhinoplasty procedure can effectively improve nasal breathing and enhance facial aesthetics simultaneously. Typically performed under general anaesthesia, recovery may take a few weeks, with some swelling and bruising expected around the nose during the healing process.

For those experiencing breathing challenges or seeking improvements in nasal appearance, septo-rhinoplasty offers a comprehensive solution that addresses both functional and aesthetic concerns.
