The section consisting of cartilage and bone that separates both nostrils in the middle of the nose is called the septum. A congenital or acquired curvature in any part of the septum may make it difficult to breathe through the nose, or it may cause the inability to breathe at all from the crooked side. Sometimes these curvatures in the nasal bone are present in more than one region and can prevent breathing from both nostrils. Curvatures in the nasal bone usually cause growth in the nasal concha, which we call turbinates, at the edges of the nose, and breathing through the nose may become more difficult. In people who cannot breathe easily through the nose, many undesirable problems may occur due to mouth breathing, such as dryness of the throat, night snoring, frequent throat infections, the feeling of constantly having something stuck in the throat, bad breath, and problems with teeth and gums. Sometimes, in addition to snoring, what we call apnea, that is, not being able to breathe for a certain period of time during sleep, may also occur. Apnea; The underlying cause is a serious health problem that needs to be corrected as it can cause daytime fatigue, drowsiness, lack of attention and, more importantly, heart-related rhythm disorders. Nasal bone curvature surgery is defined as septoplasty in medical terms, and this surgery is performed through a small incision inside the nose. Septoplasty surgery is not performed on people under the age of 18 because bone development in the human body continues until the age of 18. However, if the person has an apnea problem, this age limit can be lowered.
Nose tip surgery
The structures that form the tip of the nose are the C-shaped cartilages that form both of our nostrils and the area in contact with each other in the middle of the nose, which we call the septum. It forms the front part of the building. These cartilages are important structures in terms of the visual appearance of the tip of the nose and the function of the nose, due to their shape and location. Both congenital and acquired structural and positional problems in these cartilages may prevent us from breathing comfortably through the nose and may also cause an aesthetically unpleasant appearance in the nose. The most common nose tip problems can be evaluated as follows; sunken nose tip, nose tip bent to one side, rounded nose tip, We can classify the nose tip as a drooping nose tip or a nose tip that is excessively pointed. The problems we have mentioned regarding the tip of the nose may exist alone or may accompany other problems of the nose. Although the tip of the nose in women and men differs depending on gender, it should be in a position that is both forward and upward, at a certain angle from the lips, so that it can fulfill its function both visually and functionally. All of these problems can be corrected surgically with a small incision where the nose meets the upper lip.
Nasal meatus surgery (turbinate surgery)
Nasal meatus, called turbinates, are the meats on the edges of the nose that everyone has and do not form later. These meats are attached to the side wall of the nose from the inside with a bone inside them. Nasal glands are responsible for adjusting the temperature and humidity of the air we breathe. In addition, they enable the brain to detect the air passing through the nose with the sensors we call receptors on them. If nasal concha is larger than it should be, they prevent breathing through the nose. Those who have frequent sinusitis problems, allergic nasal diseases, and nasal bone curvatures usually experience enlargement of their nasal concha. If the nasal concha does not shrink with medication and prevents breathing, they will need to be reduced surgically.
Filler&botox
Some changes occur in the skin with aging. The main ones are the decrease in the fat tissue under the skin, the weakening and decrease in the support structures of the skin, and the deterioration in the skin layers that we call atrophy. These changes cause wrinkles and sagging on the skin. The areas where wrinkles are most commonly seen on the face are the area going down from both corners of the mouth, the area between the chin and the lips, the area extending down from both nose wings, the area around the eyes, the area between both eyebrows and the forehead area. These wrinkles that appear with age can be corrected with fillers. Fillers can also add volume, that is, fullness, to the cheeks, lips and chin. Available fillers vary depending on the active ingredient they contain and the duration of their stay in the body. It offers k. The most preferred substance is hyaluronic acid, both in terms of its compatibility with the body and its low side effects. The effectiveness of the filler can be seen immediately after application. With fillers, you can have a younger and more vibrant face, as well as a more beautiful face by adding fullness to your cheeks, lips and chin.
Eardrum surgery
The eardrum is one of the structures that separates the middle ear cavity and the external ear canal and plays a role in our hearing. Perforations in the eardrum usually develop unintentionally due to frequent ear infections in childhood, excessive pressure being applied to the ear (slapping the ear, diving into water, flying, etc.) or mixing the ear with something. Deterioration in the integrity of the eardrum, that is, a hole in the eardrum, can cause both hearing loss and frequent ear infections due to the loss of its function of protecting the middle ear from the external environment. Holes in the eardrum can sometimes cause the formation of inflammatory tissues that melt the ear bone, which may lead to more extensive and risky ear surgery. In addition, the psychology of constantly protecting the ear while bathing, swimming in the pool or swimming in order to avoid getting water into the ear can affect the person's quality of life. The hole in the eardrum can be closed surgically by making an incision behind the ear and removing the membrane from the muscle just above the ear. This way, you will start to hear better and you will not have to protect your ear from water every time.
Sinusitis and polyp surgery (functional endoscopic sinus surgery)
Sinusitis around the nose It is the inflammation of the bone cavities called sinuses located in the facial bone on the cheeks, forehead and back of the nose. Nasal polyps are white flesh that does not normally exist and forms later due to nasal allergies, frequent sinusitis or nasal stenosis. These flesh, which we call polyps, may be small enough to cause no complaints, or they may be large enough to fill every part of the nose, preventing us from breathing and smelling. If the sinusitis problem has become chronic, does not improve despite adequate medication, or if you experience sinusitis very frequently. If there is a structural problem inside the nose causing the problem, surgery is recommended. If polyps block the nose, prevent breathing and smell, and do not respond to medication, surgery is recommended. Endoscopic sinus surgery is a surgery performed to get rid of these problems by seeing the inside of the nose and sinuses with the help of a camera completely inside the nose and to eliminate the problem with instruments suitable for the nose.
Mastoidectomy (ear infection surgery)
strong>
The mastoid bone is one of the bones of the ear and is located behind the external ear canal and is connected to the middle ear cavity. The mastoid bone is also an important bone due to the structures it is adjacent to. It is adjacent to the brain above, the sigmoid sinus (one of the main vessels of the brain) below, the facial nerve (the nerve that moves our facial muscles), the middle ear and the balance section in the inner ear. Sometimes ear infections that dissolve the bone tissue may occur within this bone. This inflammation may sometimes be present from birth, which is a very rare condition, and sometimes it may occur later due to frequent middle ear infections, due to a hole in the eardrum, or sometimes due to a fracture of the ear bone, and after a certain period of time, an inflammatory tissue called cholesteatoma may form. The solution to this problem is to remove this inflammatory tissue with surgery. If left untreated, it may cause meningitis, abscess in the brain, inflammation and blockages in the cerebral vessels, facial paralysis, permanent hearing loss and dizziness and balance problems due to its close proximity. Therefore, if you have such a disease, I recommend you to have surgery without wasting time. In this surgery, the mastoid bone is exposed through an incision made behind the ear and the existing inflammatory tissue is cleaned under the microscope without damaging the neighboring structures. Generally, hearing loss is also seen in people with this inflammatory tissue. If it can be repaired, the hearing loss can also be corrected. Or if the inflammatory tissue has formed excessively and is at a level that will damage the surrounding structures, the middle ear cavity and the mastoid bone are combined in a way that can be seen from the external ear canal in case of recurrence, so that the inflammatory tissue is formed in the controls. If observed, it can be easily removed under outpatient clinic conditions.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
Due to aging, wrinkles around the eyes, sagging of the skin covering the upper eyelid, and swelling in the lower eyelid may occur. Sometimes, very rarely, it may be present at birth. Sagging eyelids create an old expression in the eyes. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a surgery performed for aesthetic purposes in which these problems are corrected. It is generally applied to people between the ages of 35 and 70. It is applied by making incisions on the eyelid suitable for the eye arch and removing the excess skin in this area and the muscle and fat layers under the skin. Thus, the sagging of the eyelids is eliminated and the old, tired expression in the eyes disappears. The incisions made during the surgery are stitched with very thin threads and removed on the 5th day. After the surgery, there may be slight redness on the eyelid. After the stitches are removed, it can be covered with make-up until the redness disappears.
