Nasal Surgery

Nasal surgery is a broad term used to describe various medical procedures aimed at correcting structural issues within the nose that might affect breathing and sinus function. These surgeries can address many issues that aren’t resolvable with medications alone, such as nasal blockages, chronic sinusitis, and other related conditions.

Common Reasons For Nasal Surgery

• Nasal blockages
• Chronic sinusitis
• Deviated septum
• Injuries that affect the nose or sinuses
• Frequent or severe nosebleeds
• Nasal polyps
• Enlarged turbinates
• Chronic, persistent stuffy nose
• Chronic breathing issues

At Vernose & McGrath ENT, we use a wide range of nasal surgeries to precisely address your condition and needs. Our team will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your symptoms and accounts for your lifestyle.

Common Nasal Surgeries We Perform:

• Septoplasty: This is a surgery to reposition parts of the septum’s bone or cartilage to open the nasal passage. Septoplasty is very effective at relieving blockages and improving airflow.

• Turbinate Surgery: Turbinate surgery is used to address obstructions of the airway caused by swollen ridges inside the nose called turbinates. This surgery aims to improve breathing and reduce nasal congestion through two primary methods:
  • Turbinate Reduction reduces the size of airway obstructions.
  • Turbinate Outfracture adjusts the position of the turbinates to improve airflow.

Nasal surgeries are typically outpatient procedures that take between half an hour and 90 minutes to complete, depending on their complexity.

Nasal surgeries are generally successful in helping patients breathe more easily and comfortably. The results can vary depending on the specific procedure and the severity of your condition, but many patients experience significant improvements in their symptoms.

• Recovery: Following your procedure, your doctor will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
• Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and address any concerns you may have.
