Septoplasty Surgery | Septoplasty for DNS

Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) is a surgical procedure to change the shape of the nose. Performed by highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeons, rhinoplasty adds value to your facial features, and it also impairs breathing. The nose is structured by a nasal bone on the top followed by cartilage in the lower portion. The plastic surgeon works both on the bone and cartilage to change the nose shape.

FESS is majorly performed to clear the hollow cavities of the skull in and around the nasal passages from chronic sinus infections. Hence the surgery is also referred to as sinus surgery. Sinuses are hollow craters present within the skull bones. They are situated behind the cheekbone or below the eyes and in the forehead region. The primary function of sinuses is to produce mucus that lines the nasal passages to keep from dust, irritants, and other pollutants. A healthy sinus is typically filled with air. While a blocked sinus is tucked with fluids and germs that multiply to develop sinus infections. FESS or Sinus surgery involves small incisions in and around the nose through which an endoscope (a device having a small tube, light, and camera) is inserted to clear the trapped fluid and bacterial infections.

The noisy breathing, while you sleep, is known as snoring. It is not a serious issue when it occurs once in a while. But, when it occurs more often it leads to chronic health conditions. It is observed that snoring is more common in men and overweight people, and it can worsen with age. The air passage from the mouth or nose gets obstructed during sleep. In such cases, when there is an air passage obstruction, the air tends to force itself, and the soft tissues of the mouth, nose, and throat vibrate together, making snorting or gurgling sounds. Snoring can lead to long-term sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea. It can also trigger other health issues like heart attacks, breathing problems, and stroke.
