Septoplasty Rhinoplasty in Houston, TX | Fred J. Bressler, MD, FACS

Understanding Septorhinoplasty

A septorhinoplasty is a comprehensive surgical procedure combining rhinoplasty and septoplasty to address both functional breathing issues and aesthetic nasal concerns. Dr. Bressler performs this advanced nose surgery to correct deviated septums, improve nasal breathing, and enhance overall nasal appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Septorhinoplasty

Patients experiencing the following conditions are prime candidates for septorhinoplasty:

• Chronic breathing difficulties
• Persistent sinus problems
• Sleep disruptions related to nasal structure
• Cosmetic concerns about nasal shape or symmetry

Surgical Procedure Details

The septorhinoplasty procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves precise surgical techniques. Dr. Bressler makes a small internal incision to access nasal cartilage and bone, allowing for comprehensive restructuring.

Surgical Approach

• Internal incision for minimal external scarring
• Septum cartilage and bone reshaping
• Cosmetic nose contouring
• Potential bone reduction or tip refinement

Benefits of Septorhinoplasty

Patients can expect multiple functional and aesthetic advantages from this comprehensive procedure:

• Enhanced daily breathing capacity
• Improved exercise respiratory performance
• Better sleep quality
• Enhanced sense of smell and taste
• Increased self-confidence

Recovery and Aftercare

Successful septorhinoplasty outcomes depend significantly on proper post-surgical care. Patients should anticipate a carefully managed recovery process, typically avoiding strenuous activities for three weeks and following specific healing guidelines.

Procedure Cost Considerations

Septorhinoplasty costs vary based on individual surgical requirements. Medically necessary breathing corrections are often partially covered by insurance, while cosmetic enhancements may require out-of-pocket expenses. Patients are advised to consult their insurance provider for specific coverage details.
