Nasal congestion (often on a chronic basis) is more often associated by patients with respiratory viral diseases than with anatomical defects. A deviated nasal septum often serves as the main cause of persistent rhinitis, sinusitis, and sinus infections, but without radical methods, it is impossible to change the situation.
In the field of plastic surgery, there is an effective method for treating and eliminating associated diseases of the nasal cavity - septoplasty. Detailed information about the procedure can be found at the following link: https://goldlaser.com.ua/nashi-uslugi/plastika-litsa/rinoseptoplastika/. Let's discuss why patients should consider this procedure if they have certain indications in the article below.
5 reasons for treating a deviated septum
- Healthy nasal breathing. A deviated septum hinders the full intake of oxygen into the body, leading to oxygen starvation of organs, the development of many diseases, and functional disorders. The quality and volume of incoming oxygen depend on the patient's health. Septoplasty is a surgery that addresses the restoration of nasal breathing.
- Healthy nose. The sinuses, mucosa, and its internal structures are susceptible to viruses, infections, and bacteria just like any other organs in the human body. With abnormalities in the structure of the septum, breathing processes are disrupted, the body's ability to quickly recover from illnesses slows down, and diseases take on a chronic nature. Septoplasty can effectively eliminate 80% of sinusitis and rhinitis, restoring full breathing.
- Healthy sleep. Chronic snoring and apnea (especially in men) often indicate problems with the nasal cavity and a deviated septum. Septoplasty resolves the snoring issue in 85% of clinical cases.
- Aesthetic nose. Congenital structural anomalies often manifest externally and affect the symmetry, bridge, tip, and even wings of the nose. Septoplasty performed simultaneously with rhinoplasty can transform the patient externally while restoring their internal breathing function. In modern plastic surgery clinics, this operation is referred to as rhinoseptoplasty.
- Investments in health. Expenses for vasoconstrictor drops, treatment with a family doctor, tests, and diagnostics of chronic nasal cavity diseases significantly decrease with a one-time investment in the procedure. The results after surgery are permanent for patients.
