Septal deviation correction methods and surgical considerations in turbinoplasty.

Septal deviation correction methods and surgical considerations in turbinoplasty. Arch Plast Surg. 2020 Nov;47(6):522-527 Authors: Kang ET Abstract Nasal septoplasty is often required to correct a cosmetic deformity, which is a common reason for patients to present to a plastic surgeon. If nasal septoplasty is insufficient, a residual deformity or nasal obstruction may remain after surgery. Even if the nasal septum is corrected to an appropriate position, nasal congestion could be exacerbated if the turbinate on the other side is not also corrected. Therefore, appropriate treatment is required based on the condition of the turbinates. Herein, we survey recent trends in treatment and review previous research papers on turbinoplasty procedures that can be performed alongside nasal septoplasty.
