Deviated nose correction

VIEW's deviated nose correction addresses both functional issues (breathing difficulty) and aesthetic concerns together, straightening the septum and bony structure. It takes 1-2 hours under general anaesthesia, and in some cases insurance coverage may apply since it corrects a functional nasal problem.

Surgical steps

Consultation examining both external nasal structure and the internal septum.
Under general anaesthesia, the deviated septum and bony framework are straightened — 1-2 hours.
Cartilage and bone are repositioned for symmetry on both sides of the nose.
Sutures inside the nostril are removed once the wound has settled.

Recovery & aftercare

Sutures are removed at about 7 days after surgery.
Makeup or cream near the nose can resume only after sutures are removed.
Two follow-up visits are scheduled after surgery.
No hospital admission is needed, but avoid activities that could impact the nose in the early weeks.

Risks & things to consider

Results depend on the severity of the deviation and each patient's bone structure, so identical outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
This is more complex than standard rhinoplasty, so an experienced specialist team is important.
Risks include bleeding, infection or partial recurrence of deviation in some cases.
Check insurance coverage in advance, as it varies by policy.
