[Nose:Rhinoplasty] Deviated Nose Correction

Deviated nose is a symptom that needs to be corrected, not only because of the way it looks, but more so for the discomfort it causes, and the difficulties that come with it.

Deviated nose is often caused by external injury, or form congenitally. The problem with deviated nose is that frequently the nasal septum is also deviated, so it causes difficulty in breathing.

At Migo, we use 3D-CT imaging system before surgery for safer, and successful results. 3D CT imaging allows the surgeon to plan the procedure precisely based on information obtained from 3D imaging, and see the symptoms more clearly by being able to observe the nasal bones, nasal septum inside the nose.  It also emits 1/50th of radiation compared to other existing CT imaging systems. 

Surgical methods for the correction includes septectomy, scoring, and partial septectomy as well as tubinectomy to prevent nasal congestion. Correction for the outer cartilage may be necessary in addition. Surgical procedures for the nasal osteotomy begins after the cartilage correction. The deviated nasal bone is corrected by applying osteotomy to inner and outer nasal bones. Splint will be applied for five days after the surgery to keep the corrected shape of the nose, and minimize swelling.
