The surgical incision can be hidden. Many patients who undergo surgery for a deviated nasal septum are concerned about whether the surgery will leave scars on their face. If an unsightly scar is left for no reason, they should consider whether to undergo surgery. . Nasal diseases such as deviated nasal septum are generally treated conservatively first. When the effect is not good or ineffective, surgical treatment is considered. Naturally, people worry about whether surgery will leave scars. Indeed, from an aesthetic point of view, the nose is located in the middle of the face. If there is an extra scar around the nose, it will certainly have a great impact on the appearance.

"The current nasal surgeries such as nasal polyps, deviated nasal septum, and turbinate hypertrophy are all performed in the nasal cavity, which will not leave any scars on the face; some surgeries on the ethmoid sinus, frontal sinus, and maxillary sinus can be performed Performed under a nasal endoscope, endoscopic nasal surgery is less invasive, less painful, and will not leave scars on the face; some surgeries involve the sinuses, and intranasal incisions cannot be performed, so the surgery can be performed through an intraoral incision

Surgical scars can be reduced by laser and other methods. Some surgeries are difficult to complete through intranasal or intraoral incisions, and may require incisions on the face.

Moreover, even if the surgery is performed on the face, When making incisions, we will also choose a hidden place close to the nose, or make an incision on a previous facial scar, so as not to make the wound too obvious.

In short, most nose surgeries can be avoided directly on the face. Even if an incision needs to be made on the face, the incision should be designed to be as small and hidden as possible.

The successful completion of the nasal surgery only means that the surgical treatment is half done. , and the other half must be completed by post-operative care and dressing change. Proper post-operative care will not only improve the condition, but also facilitate wound healing (although some wounds are hidden in the nose and mouth, they still exist). After nose surgery, you must strictly follow the doctor's instructions for regular follow-up visits and deal with problems in time. If there are surgical scars on the face, silicone patches, lasers and other methods can be used to reduce the scars in the future.
