This procedure can correct a wide range of concerns, from cosmetic issues such as a crooked nose or prominent hump to medical conditions that affect breathing. Dr. Hamadeh specializes in tailoring the surgery to meet your unique needs, ensuring a harmonious balance between form and function.

Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines two vital elements of nasal surgery: septoplasty, which corrects issues with the nasal septum (the cartilage separating the nostrils), and rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, which addresses the external shape and aesthetics of the nose. This comprehensive surgery is ideal for patients who want to improve their nose’s appearance and experience breathing difficulties due to a deviated septum or other structural problems.
Septorhinoplasty allows for the correction of both functional and cosmetic concerns, including:
Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that combines septoplasty (to correct a deviated septum) and rhinoplasty (to enhance the appearance of the nose). It focuses on both functional and aesthetic aspects, ensuring improved nasal breathing along with desired cosmetic changes.
Specific preoperative considerations and tests are essential before undergoing septorhinoplasty, often performed. Your medical history will be reviewed, focusing on any issues that could impact surgery. A physical examination may be conducted to assess your nasal passages thoroughly. Tests like imaging studies or blood work might be required to ensure you are fit for the procedure. Understanding these preoperative steps is crucial for a successful septorhinoplasty.
The cost of your rhinoplasty or septorhinoplasty procedure will depend on the complexity of the surgery and your specific goals. Dr. Hamadeh will provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation based on your needs and any additional cosmetic procedures you may want to include. Please note that the NHS generally does not cover Septorhinoplasty unless it is medically necessary to correct congenital deformities or trauma.
Septorhinoplasty involves reshaping the nose to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance while addressing functional issues.
Septorhinoplasty, which includes both rhinoplasty and septoplasty, improves nasal function by correcting structural issues such as a deviated septum. Whether your goal is to enhance your appearance or improve your breathing, Dr. Hamadeh’s expertise ensures that your results will be natural and functional.

Maintain a straight head position to reduce swelling. Avoid smoking to aid the healing process and prevent complications. Refrain from aspirin and ibuprofen to minimize bleeding risks.
