Sign up for a visit
Septoplasty is a surgical correction of the nasal septum
Plastic surgery of the nasal septum allows to correct deformities of the nose of any complexity. The curvature of the nasal septum can be congenital, and can be the result of an injury or disease. Our nasal septum, namely the septal cartilage, plays an important role in the patency of the respiratory tract.
In addition to the fact that the curvature of the nasal septum creates an external defect in the shape of the nose, the deformation of the septal cartilage can affect the respiratory function of the nose and even cause frequent nosebleeds, sinusitis, nasal congestion, difficult nasal breathing and even headaches. Due to a defect in the nasal septum, the filtering, conditioning and disinfection functions of the air flow in the nasal cavity may be impaired. Displacement of the nasal septum to one or the other side from the center is considered a deformation.
Plastic surgery, namely septoplasty, allows you to correct the deformation of the nasal septum and fully restore the respiratory function of the nose, while preserving the supporting function of the nasal septal cartilage. Septoplasty surgery is often performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty. Such a complex operation is called rhinoseptoplasty. Any operations on small areas of the face require the highest qualifications of a plastic surgeon.
At the Genesis clinic in Lviv, septoplasty is performed at the highest level. The newest equipment and innovative technologies make it possible to perform minimally invasive operations, significantly shorten the rehabilitation period, and leave almost no visible scars!
