It’sYour nose is one of your most vital sensory organs—it allows you to enjoy the smell of warm chocolate chip cookies or your date’s perfume. A nasal perforation can lead to uncomfortable symptoms that get in the way of enjoying your daily life.
However, with nasal perforation repair in NYC, you can breathe easy with the help of experienced surgeon Dr. Steven Pearlman at Pearlman Aesthetic Surgery.
Signs of a Perforated Septum
Your septum is the piece of cartilage and bone that divides your nostrils. A perforated septum has a hole in it, and while this doesn’t always cause problems, it can lead to unwanted symptoms.
Common signs of a nasal perforation:
- Frequent nosebleeds
- Trouble breathing
- Feeling the nose is blocked
- Whistling sound when you breathe
- Crusting in the nose
You don’t always need surgery to fix a perforated septum, unless your doctor recommends it. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule a consultation with a nose surgeon to get professional insight on your situation.
How Is a Nasal Perforation Repaired?
Your surgeon will repair your nasal perforation through a surgical procedure that closes the hole in the nasal septum. The repair typically involves using grafts or flaps of tissue from the patient’s own body or synthetic materials to patch the perforation.
Your surgeon carefully positions the grafts to restore the septum’s integrity and function. Following your post-operative care is crucial to promote proper healing and to avoid complications. This will ensure the perforation closes effectiely and nasal function is restored.
