Congestion, Cause of Fatigue During the Day

Providing information about the problems experienced by patients in case of nasal congestion Dr. Karaaslan, “Generally, patients who present with nasal congestion experience problems such as snoring, sleeping with their mouth open, waking up tired in the morning, fatigue during the day and tendency to sleep. Most of the nasal congestion is caused by the irregularity and curvature of the cartilage and bone tissue called septum, which forms the midline in the nose.

For Easier Breathing. …

Op. Dr. Ahmet Karaaslan explained the operations that can be performed in case of inability to breathe easily through the nose as follows: "Septoplasty (bone and cartilage surgery that forms the midline of the nose), nasal valve (breathing angle and nose wing) surgery, tip plasty (nose tip surgery) and turbinate surgery." With (nasal flesh) surgery, the patient can breathe more easily. Rhinoplasty (nose aesthetic) surgeries can be performed alone or in combination with septoplasty surgery. In this way, the patient not only has the nose he/she wants in shape, but also breathes more easily. The patient who has septorhinoplasty surgery breathes easier and feels psychologically more comfortable. This increases self-confidence and success.”
