What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum. At JW Korea Plastic Hospital, our experienced surgeons utilize advanced techniques to restore the nasal septum to its proper position. This not only improves breathing and overall nasal function but also enhances facial aesthetics.

Deviated Nose Surgery

Why Consider Septoplasty?

You may be a good candidate for septoplasty if you experience:

• Nasal congestion or obstruction
• Difficulty breathing through one or both nostrils
• Snoring or sleep apnea
• Frequent sinus infections
• Facial asymmetry

The Septoplasty Procedure at JW Korea Plastic Hospital

Our surgeons tailor the procedure to your specific needs, considering factors such as the severity of the deviation and any accompanying nasal deformities. Common techniques include:

• Septal Cartilage Reshaping: The deviated cartilage is trimmed and repositioned to create a straighter nasal septum.
• Bone Removal or Reshaping: In some cases, excess bone tissue may be removed to widen the nasal passage.
• Grafting: If necessary, cartilage grafts may be used to support the nasal structure.

JW Korea Plastic Hospital’s Deviated Nose Correction Techniques

JW Korea Plastic Hospital offers a comprehensive approach to correcting deviated noses, utilizing a variety of techniques to address specific concerns:

1. Camouflage Method: 

This minimally invasive approach is suitable for minor deviations. It involves subtle corrections using cartilage or dermal grafts to subtly refine the nasal contour.

2. Corrective Rhinoplasty:

Corrective rhinoplasty is recommended for patients with more significant nasal deviations affecting multiple areas of the nose.

This comprehensive approach addresses the deviation from multiple angles, including:

• Nasal Osteotomy: This procedure involves carefully adjusting the position of the nasal bones through precise bone cuts. 
• Deviated Nasal Cartilage Correction: Corrects deviations in the upper lateral cartilages, often using septal cartilage grafts. 
• Alar Cartilage or Nasal Bridge Correction: Addresses deviations in the tip and bridge of the nose by adjusting the position of the alar cartilages and septal cartilage. 
• Septal Correction (Septoplasty): Corrects a deviated septum, a common underlying cause of nasal obstruction. Septoplasty improves nasal airflow and provides a stable foundation for the rest of the nasal structure. 
• Inferior Turbinate Reduction: Reduces the size of the inferior turbinates to improve airflow and alleviate nasal congestion. 
• Nasal Valve Correction: Addresses both internal and external nasal valve insufficiencies, which can significantly impact airflow and breathing.
