Whether there is any other internal disorder in the nose; The patient's allergic conditions, previous surgeries or facial trauma are evaluated in detail. In the light of all these data, the most appropriate method for the patient is selected and applied. The operation can be performed with open or closed technique. Bone and cartilages that are curved and cause breathing problems are removed, shaped and placed back into the nose. In the operation, the cartilage, bone, ligaments and tissue that hold these structures together in the nose are tried to be preserved as much as possible. In addition, if there is an enlarged nasal cavity or cyst that causes obstruction in breathing, these pathologies are also intervened at the same time.
