SEPTORHINOPLASTY IN LVIV

Septorhinoplasty (rhinoseptoplasty) is a combined plastic surgery procedure that involves surgical correction of a deviated nasal septum and aesthetic rhinoplasty. The procedure helps not only restore normal nasal breathing but also improve the appearance of the nose. By choosing our Korona Clinic for rhinoplasty in Lviv, patients receive an expert approach and care at every stage.

Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, and Rhinoseptoplasty: What is the Difference?

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that is aimed only at aesthetic correction and is performed on the nostrils, bridge, tip, or other parts of the nose.

Septoplasty is a common surgical intervention to correct the nasal septum in order to restore nasal breathing without changing the appearance of the nose.

Septorhinoplasty is both a functional and aesthetic surgery. The procedure is recommended for patients who simultaneously have nasal breathing disorders and are dissatisfied with the shape of the nose.

The specific type of operation is chosen depending on the existing indications and the wishes of the patient.

When Are Rhinoplasty and Septum Surgery Performed?

The most common indications for septorhinoplasty in Lviv at the Korona Medical Center include the following:

Dissatisfaction with the aesthetic shape of the nose — such as asymmetry, a hump, or an excessively large or small size.
Deviation of the nasal septum, which causes problems with nasal breathing, chronic headaches, and sleep disorders.
Consequences of injuries — changes in the appearance of the external nose and disorders of the nasal cavity or septum that require both aesthetic and functional correction.
Congenital anomalies that lead to changes in the shape of the nose and disrupt nasal breathing.
Chronic respiratory diseases, such as sinusitis or rhinitis, caused by curvature and dysfunction of the nasal septum.

Preparation for Septorhinoplasty

Before the operation, the patient undergoes the following:

Consultation with an otolaryngologist, plastic surgeon, and anesthesiologist
CT scan of the sinuses and endoscopic examination of the nose
Laboratory tests
ECG and other examinations

Two weeks before the procedure, you should give up alcohol and smoking and adhere to a healthy sleep and nutrition regimen.

Rhinoseptoplasty Procedure at the Korona Medical Center in Lviv

Rhinoseptoplasty in Lviv is performed under general anesthesia. The duration depends on the complexity of the surgery and can range from 1.5 to 3 hours.

Usually, to avoid scars, the operation is performed through incisions inside the nose. The surgeon carefully peels off the mucous membrane and aligns, straightens, or reimplants parts of the nasal septum. The shape of the nose is also corrected, including thinning the tip of the nose and removing the hump.

Sometimes, the integrity of the nasal septum is restored using a small part of the patient’s auricular cartilage. Auricular cartilage is quite flexible and strong and resembles nasal cartilage. Since it is the patient’s own tissue, there is no risk of rejection.

To maintain the shape of the nose and reduce the risk of complications, nasal splints—small silicone inserts—are placed in the patient’s nose.

Rehabilitation after Rhinoseptoplasty

The initial recovery period after plastic surgery of the nose lasts about 7–10 days. Removal of nasal splints and sutures is usually carried out on the 7th day. The final result is formed within 6–12 months.

To make rehabilitation after septorhinoplasty comfortable, follow these recommendations:

Follow the advice on caring for the surgical site
Avoid physical exertion for the first month
Come to the surgeon for follow-up visits

In the first week, the patient may experience discomfort due to postoperative swelling of the nose. Bruising and temporary loss of smell are also possible. All these phenomena are temporary and pass quickly. In case of any unusual symptoms, be sure to contact your doctor.
