Deviation Surgery

Deviation means that the cartilage-bone wall in the nose is tilted to the right or left.

What complaints do deviation create?

The most important complaint caused by deviation is nasal congestion. In such a situation, the patient may feel that he is not able to breathe enough from his nose in case of effort, and when he gets up in the morning, his mouth is dry and rusty. Deviation can contribute to snoring, cause constant mouth breathing, lead to pharyngitis, and can prepare the ground for sinusitis and nosebleeds.

Can nose and deviation surgeries be performed in the same session with aesthetic nose surgery?

Yes, all three surgeries can be done in the same session.

What methods are available in nose reduction?

There are many methods for reducing the meat of the nose. These include mainly radiofrequency, electrocauterization and cutting some of the nose meat. The most commonly used method is the radiofrequency method. The basis of this method is the shrinkage of the nose meat without shearing by using radiofrequency energy.

How is deviation surgery performed?

The main approach in deviation surgeries is to correct the cartilage-bone curvature in the nose, while maintaining the support in front of the nose and back of the nose. It is possible to perform the operation by making an incision through the nose in most of the patients. In some cases where there are curvatures on the back of the nose, it can also be performed using a method called the open technique by making an incision under the tip of the nose with a method similar to that of aesthetic nose surgeries.
