Can any slight nose-straightening be done during Septoplasty, or is that strictly Rhinoplasty?
A septoplasty is a surgery that straightens the internal nasal septum through removing or straightening deviated segments. This all occurs inside the nose, and nothing is done to the dorsum (bridge) of the nose. For patients who have a crooked nose, this can be due to a number of factors. The septum is only one potential cause of a crooked nose. I have very rarely seen that a nose will appear straighter following a septoplasty; straightening a nose usually requires a septorhinoplasty. For patients with crooked noses, I offer a septorhinoplasty to achieve the best result.
i had a septoplasty to mix my deviated septum two weeks ago, after 10 days , the doctor took the stiches out which were black colored i think but i found some clear plastic strings tied inside the walls of the nose (where the hair grows) is that normal ?? or did he for got to take them out cuz the were not even close to incision area
Yes, it is normal to still have sutures inside your nose after a septoplasty. Nasal surgeons typically use dissolvable sutures inside the nose. Most of these sutures dissolve within three weeks, depending on the specific suture used. If the sutures are still there after three weeks, discuss this with your surgeon. They will likely be able to remove them at that time with ease.
