Septorhinoplasty

At ICC Health Tourism, we connect international patients with leading plastic surgeons in Antalya, ensuring a safe, professional, and personalised experience for those seeking nasal refinement. Septorhinoplasty is a specialised procedure that combines functional correction and aesthetic reshaping, allowing patients to breathe better and achieve a well-balanced nasal appearance.

What is Septorhinoplasty?

A septorhinoplasty is a dual-purpose surgery that corrects both nasal function and aesthetics. It involves:

Rhinoplasty – Reshaping the external nose for improved symmetry and appearance.
Septoplasty – Straightening a deviated septum, enhancing airflow and breathing.

This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience nasal obstruction, breathing difficulties, or aesthetic concerns due to an injury, congenital deformity, or natural nasal structure.

Who Can Benefit from Septorhinoplasty?

This procedure is suitable for individuals who:

Suffer from nasal obstruction caused by a deviated septum
Experience difficulty breathing, especially during sleep or exercise
Want to refine the shape, size, or proportions of their nose
Struggle with chronic sinus problems or snoring related to nasal structure issues
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results

How is the Procedure Performed?

1. Personalised Consultation and Surgical Planning

A thorough consultation is carried out to assess the nasal structure, breathing function, and aesthetic concerns. Advanced imaging techniques may be used to visualise potential outcomes and tailor the procedure to each patient’s needs.

2. The Surgical Process

The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes two to three hours.
Septoplasty is performed first, straightening the nasal septum to improve airflow.
Rhinoplasty techniques are applied, addressing the bridge, tip, or nostrils, depending on the desired changes.
If needed, cartilage grafts from the nasal septum are used for added support.
Incisions are placed inside the nostrils (closed technique) or at the base of the nose (open technique), depending on the complexity of the procedure.
The nose is reshaped to create a harmonious balance between function and aesthetics.
A nasal splint is applied to maintain structure during the initial healing phase.

3. Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients return home the same day or after an overnight stay.
Swelling and bruising peak in the first week but gradually subside.
A nasal splint is worn for seven to ten days, ensuring stability during the healing process.
Light activities can be resumed after two weeks, while strenuous exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks.
Breathing function continues to improve as swelling reduces, with final results visible within six to twelve months.
