septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty
Combining aesthetic nose correction with functional treatment of a deviated septum in a single procedure.
Duration
3-4 hours
Anesthesia
General anesthesia
Result
Improved breathing from the first month; final aesthetic result at 12 months
Overview
Septorhinoplasty simultaneously treats the aesthetic appearance of the nose and the functional problems caused by a deviated septum. Many patients seeking a shape correction also have breathing difficulties they only become aware of at consultation.
The combined approach has clear advantages: one anesthesia, one recovery and a dual result β aesthetic and functional. Dr. Mubariz Mammadli uses techniques that preserve the support structure of the nose for long-term stability.

Frequently asked questions
Is septorhinoplasty covered by insurance?
Only the functional part (septoplasty) may be reimbursed if there is a medical indication. The aesthetic component is always private. We discuss options at consultation.
Will I breathe better after surgery?
Yes, if the obstruction was caused by septal deviation. Improvement is usually clear after 2-3 weeks once internal swelling subsides.
How does it differ from simple rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty changes only the external shape of the nose. Septorhinoplasty adds correction of the deviated septum inside, addressing both aesthetics and breathing function.
When can I return to sports?
Light sport can resume after 3-4 weeks. Contact or impact sports (football, skiing, martial arts) must be avoided for at least 8 weeks.
