http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.comrnEnter the operating room and see first-hand how nose surgery is performed and learn about each specific procedure with Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a world-renowned expert in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty. rnrnIn this video you\'ll discover how a Septoplasty procedure is performed and learn why it is an important part of an overall rhinoplasty plastic surgery procedure. rnrnThe nasal cavity is divided into two halves by a partition made of cartilage and bone, called the nasal septum. The two halves are the nostrils. In as many as 80% of all people, the nasal cavity is not divided equally. When this occurs, it is called a deviated septum. For most people, this imperfection does not cause any problems, but for some, it can lead to difficulty in breathing and even chronic sinus infections.rnrnSymptoms vary from person to person, depending upon the severity of the deviation. Some only experience symptoms when they have a cold or other respiratory infection, and symptoms are usually worse on one side of the nose than the other. Symptoms include:rn1. Blockage of one or both nostrilsrn2. Nasal congestionrn3. Frequent nosebleedsrn4. Frequent or chronic sinus infectionsrn5. Sinus painrnrnThe only way to correct a deviated septum is through surgery. A septoplasty is usually performed on an out-patient basis, with either general or local anesthesia, and usually takes 1-1 1/2 hours. This procedure is performed entirely through the nostrils, and if it is the only procedure performed, it does not cause any bruising or swelling following surgery. A septoplasty can also be performed in conjunction with rhinoplasty.rnrnWatch the experience of the patient who underwent this and many other procedures during her ethnic, or westernization, rhinoplasty at... rnhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QobQdRapPfsrnrnDr. Nassif\'s practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery, is located in  Beverly Hills, CA.rnhttp://www.spaldingplasticsurgery.comrnrnOPERATIVE TECHNIQUE:rnThe septum was infiltrated with 3.0 cc of 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 Epinephrine.   Pledgets soaked in pontocaine and 1:1,000 Epinephrine were placed in the nasal cavity. A left hemi-transfixion incision was made and the mucoperichondrium was elevated on the left side of the incision and extended to beyond the junction of the bony & cartilaginous septum and the mucoperiosteum was elevated. The septum was disarticulated from the bony septum and the contralateral mucoperiosteal flap was then elevated off the bony septum.  Takahashi forceps were then used to remove the deviated bony septum.  For the spur, a 4 mm osteotome was used to remove it. A strip of cartilage along the floor up to the anterior nasal spine was removed allowing a swinging door septum to be created. The septum was midline after this maneuver. No opposing bilateral perforations were identified. Septal cartilage was harvested for grafting for the rhinoplasty leaving approximately 10 mm of septal support at the anterior and caudal septum. The incision was then closed with a running 4-0 chromic.  rnrnVideo Produced by Spore Medical,rnhttp://www.sporemedical.com

http://www.rhinoplastyspecialist.comrnSee 1st hand how nose surgery is performed with R hinoplasty Specialist Dr. Paul Nassif. A world-renowned expert in revision & ethnic rhinoplasty, watch and learn as he performs a Vestibular Tissue Release. His practice, Spalding Drive Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, is located in  Beverly Hills, CA.rnrnIt can be performed under a general anesthetic or with local anesthetic. Incisions are made inside the nostrils (closed rhinoplasty). Sometimes, a tiny, inconspicuous incision is also made across the columella, the bit of skin that separates the nostrils (open rhinoplasty). The surgeon first separates soft tissues of the nose from the underlying structures, then reshapes the cartilage and bone. Most people remain at home for a week. If there are external sutures, they are usually removed 4 to 5 days after surgery. The external cast is removed at one week. If there are internal stents, they are usually removed at four days to two weeks. The periorbital bruising usually lasts two weeks. Due to wound healing, there are minor and subtle shifting and settling of the nose over the first year.rnrnIn some cases, the surgeon may shape a small piece of the patient\'s own cartilage or bone to strengthen or change the structure of the nose. Usually the cartilage is harvested from the septum although if there isn\'t enough which can often occur in revision rhinoplasty, cartilage can be taken from the concha of the ear or rarely the ribs. In the rare case, again usually revision rhinoplasty, where bone is required, it is harvested from the cranium or ribs. Sometimes a synthetic implant may be used to reconstruct the nose. This is most common when augmenting the bridge of Asian noses.
