Our nose is not enough to be fine, it must also be functional. A surgery can take care of both
Deviated septum? Take a breath now! It’s not enough for our nose to be pretty, it must also be functional. A surgical operation can take care of both. Smooth and unhindered breathing from the nose is one of the determinants of well being, as it is responsible for the proper oxygenation of our body. If one can’t breathe properly, everything becomes much more difficult, even if, being used to less breathing, they don’t realize it. So, it is good to check upon the functionality of our nose, because this is more important than how it looks. With endoscopic surgery we can correct all damaged anatomical areas, which are not as visible with other methods, and at the same time perform either cauterisation of the turbinate or turbinectomy. The advantages of this technique are many. The patient can avoid pain, swelling, bruise, and postoperatively they may return to work swiftly – for young, healthy people, indeed, staying in the hospital is not even necessary.
