Is the operation difficult for the patient? : SD surgery is considered an easy surgery with the latest developments in surgical technique. However, it should not be forgotten that it is still an operation. Both local and general anesthesia carry some risks. However, this is also an extremely reduced risk. Although the duration of the operation varies, it is considered to be approximately 1 hour. At the end of the surgery, a tampon is placed on the patient’s nose and these tampons are left in place for approximately 48 hours. Tampons can cause headaches and difficulty sleeping. After the tampons are removed, the patient continues his normal life.
What Kind of Problems May Occur in the Surgery: SD surgery is an operation with an extremely low complication rate. Rarely, a hole may occur in the chamber inside the nose, which does not pose any inconvenience to the patient. If an excessive amount of bone and cartilage is removed from the nasal chamber, a collapse of the nasal dorsum may occur.
