Is the operation of nasal septum risky?
The nasal septum is the corresponding part of cartilage between our two nostrils. Deviation of nasal septum is a common condition, but it is also normal. Most people have a slightly curved nasal septum. Generally speaking, unless it affects normal breathing and sleep, no special corrective treatment is needed. However, if it seriously affects breathing, sleep or even bleeding, you must go to the hospital for examination or surgical correction, and the risk is still relatively small.

Is the operation of nasal septum risky? Any operation has certain risks, but nasal septum deviation operation is a common operation in otorhinolaryngology, and nasal septum correction is very mature with little risk. Minimally invasive surgery was used for nasal septum deviation. At present, the operation is relatively mature and will not cause too many sequelae. But you must choose a regular third-class first-class hospital for surgery.

At present, the main surgical methods to correct nasal septum deviation are endoscopic submucosal resection, second-line nasal septum repair and third-line nasal septum repair. Although the risk of operation is not high, there will be some complications in theory, such as hematoma of nasal septum, perforation of nasal septum or saddle nose caused by over-correction.

How long does it take to operate the nasal septum? Surgical correction of nasal septum deviation is the most basic operation in otorhinolaryngology. The operation time is usually about 1 hour. After the operation, it usually takes 2-4 weeks for regular examination. However, after 1 week, you can carry out your daily work. It will take about three months to return to work. Nasal congestion and nasal discomfort may occur during the recovery period.

Can deviation of nasal septum affect the beauty of nose Generally speaking, deviation of nasal septum has no effect on the beauty of nose. Deviation of nasal septum refers to the change of cartilage tissue of nasal septum. Therefore, this phenomenon will not affect the appearance. If treatment is needed, the nasal septum can be corrected by surgery. For surgery, it has little effect on the appearance of the nose. Because this kind of surgery is usually done by endoscopic surgery.
