Say Good Bye To Nasal Defects With Rhinoplasty!

Rhinoplasty is a surgery to reshape the nose. It can change the angle of the nose in relation to the face & the upper lip. It can also alter the tip of the nose or indentions, correct bumps or other defects on the nose.

The surgeon makes small incisions to access the cartilage & bones that support your nose. The incisions are generally made inside the nose so that they are not visible after the surgery. Some cartilage or bone may be removed, or tissue may be added. After the surgeon has reshaped & rearranged the bone and cartilage, the tissue & skin is reshaped over the structure of the nose.

Who Is The Perfect Candidate?
Rhinoplasty can change the shape, size and angle of your nose and make it proportionate with the rest of your face and hence, if you feel that your nose is not proportionate with your face then you can go for Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty is also able to correct different conditions with the nose that cause problems in breathing and chronic congestion.

What To Expect After The Surgery?
The results of rhinoplasty may be major or minor, depending on the kind of correction you want. It is important that your plastic surgeon & you agree on the goals of the surgery. If your outlooks are realistic and your plastic surgeon shares them, he or she will possibly be able to give you the result you want.

Cosmetic surgery must only be done on a fully developed nose. Complete development usually occurs by the age of 15 or 16 in females and by the age of 17 or 18 in males. If surgery is done before this age, continuous development of the nose can alter the surgical outcomes and possibly cause problems.

Worn Out With Sinusitis??

Sinusitis is common infection found in many people across the globe. Caused mainly due to a virus infection which affects the mucous membrane lining the nasal interior, it results in the inflammation of the sinus glands. Sinus surgery is performed in severe cases of sinusitis.

Sinusitis also leads to blocking of fluids from sinuses to nose and throat. This can cause severe bacterial infection that leads to pain, inflammation or swelling. With advancement in technology, sinus surgery has been simplified and can now be performed endoscopically.

Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
While conventional sinus surgery needed nasal incision, and had to deal with post operational bleeding, the new endoscopic surgery is much simpler. Endoscopic sinus surgery is performed with a thin rod with an attached camera at the end that can be inserted to the nasal cavity through the nasal orifice.
The surgery is then performed on the basis of the live feeds or images transmitted by the camera through minimal and tiny incisions. The recovery period and complexity is much short and simpler here than in conventional surgery procedures.
The procedure is done under local or general anaesthesia. The instruments used for the surgery depends upon the condition and extent of disorder in the patient. It is adjudged to be one of the safest treatment methods.
Scope of sinus surgery
Sinus surgery is performed in the following cases: -

• Chronic sinusitis which causes inflammation that are recurrent over three months
• Severe sinus infections that threatens to spread to brain, face, eyes and so on
• Brain fluid leakage through nose
• In conjunction with turbinoplasty or septoplasty surgeries
• Disorders associated with tear ducts.
• Removing polyps or growths inside the nose
• Bone removal to widen mucous drainage path

Though non-surgical treatments for sinusitis do exist, the sinus surgeries helps in alleviating the problem permanently.

Are You Tired of Sinus Pain ?

An inflammation or swelling of a tissue that lines the sinuses is called sinusitis. Healthy sinus cavities are filled with air. But when they are blocked and filled with fluid, the growth of germs in the cavities, cause infection.

Causes for Sinus Blockage are common cold, deviated septum, small growths in the nose lining called nasal polyps, and swelling in the nose lining called allergic rhinitis. Sinusitis is divided into acute, sub-acute, chronic, and recurrent.
Initially, sinusitis is treated with antibiotics, nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines (to control allergic stimulants), topical nasal corticoids, and nasal saline washes. When all the above treatments do not work with the patient, he /she will be advised for sinusitis surgery.

 

A modernized Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is preferred for recovery within a limited period. Nasal endoscopic surgery is suggested for various conditions relating to the nose as well as other neighboring organs. It is used to diagnose and treat the following conditions:

• Brain, eyes, and face affected by sinus infections
• Leakage of brain fluid into the nose
• Disorders in tear ducts
• Chronic sinusitis which persists for more than 3 months

Turbinoplasty and Septoplasty Surgeries

Though sinusitis can be treated with non-surgical procedures, surgery is preferred for a permanent solution.

Endoscopic nasal surgery device is a long thin rod with an attached camera on its head that is inserted into the nasal cavity through the natural orifice. This surgery involves lesser nasal packing and milder pain.

Nasal Endoscopy- Procedure

It is performed under general or local anesthesia which depends on the duration and severity of the procedure.

Soon after the patient is sedated, the endoscope is inserted through the nostril for viewing the nasal sinuses. Abnormalities or infections are identified by doctors on a live screen through the camera attached on the device. Sometimes, nasal packing may be provided to control bleeding. But in most cases, nasal packing will be provided after surgery which depends on the condition treated. The pain is mild and the period of recovery depends solely on the patients’ health.

• Breathing problems
• Chronic infections of the nasal sinus
• Fluid build up inside the anus
• Pain

Treatment procedure :

Septoplasty Treatment is performed under local or general anesthesia. It takes below an hour and is usually carried out on a day surgery basis. A small incision is made inside the nose. The mucosal lining of the septum is detached from the cartilage and bones of the septum. The deviated portions of the septum are removed or straightened. THe nasal lining mucous membrane is replaced. Splints or packs are placed in the nose for few days. These splints have a straw that allows the patient to breathe from the nose and makes swallowing much easier.
