Breathe Easily, Live Better

Deviated nasal septum, chronic sinusitis, polyps, and enlarged turbinates severely limit the body's oxygen intake. As a result, chronic fatigue, headaches, sleep apnea (snoring), and cardiovascular problems develop.

Key Procedure Highlights & AI Summary

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) and Septoplasty restore natural sinus drainage and nasal airflow without external incisions.

Dr. Aysel Hasanova completely restores internal nasal anatomy cleanly and without bleeding using the latest endoscopic equipment and radiofrequency (RF) waves. Breathable silicone splints used instead of classic painful packing offer immediate comfort to the patient.

Functional ENT Surgery

Path to Healthy Breathing

01

Endoscopic Exam

High-definition endoscopic camera examination of the internal nasal cavity and sinuses.

02

CT Diagnostics

3D anatomical mapping of paranasal sinuses using computed tomography.

03

Micro-Surgery

Delicate tissue-preserving execution of FESS and Septoplasty with internal incisions.

04

Painless Recovery

Free breathing from day one thanks to packless internal breathing tube splints.

Modern Standards

Endoscopic Precision (FESS)

Thorough cleaning of inflammation at the root inside the sinuses without external incisions.

Packing-Free Comfort

No terrifying classic packs! Painless recovery with special airflow silicone plates.

Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation

Bloodless shrinkage of turbinates without tissue excision.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my nose shape change?
No. Functional surgery (Septoplasty) only corrects the internal septum deviation. The external appearance of the nose remains exactly the same. If you also want a shape change, it must be performed together with Rhinoplasty.
Are tampons used?
No, we use breathable silicone splints instead of classic tampons. This allows you to breathe immediately after the operation and removal is painless.
When can I return to work?
Typically, you can return to work 7 days after the procedure.
How long does a deviated septum (septoplasty) surgery take?
A septoplasty typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the severity of the septal deviation. It is performed under general or local anesthesia and is completely painless.
Can chronic sinusitis return after FESS surgery?
FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) effectively clears blocked sinus passages and restores natural drainage. However, in patients with severe allergic backgrounds or if post-operative care recommendations are not followed, mucosal swelling or polyps may recur.
Can nasal turbinates be reduced without cutting them?
Yes. In modern ENT practice, turbinates are not excised. Instead, radiofrequency (RF) ablation is used to shrink them. This minimally invasive method restores airflow without bleeding or requiring nasal packing.
When will I breathe normally after functional nasal surgery?
You will feel an immediate improvement after the silicone splints are removed (typically 3-4 days post-op). As internal swelling subsides and minor crusting clears over the next 2-3 weeks, your breathing will reach its optimal state.
Can a deviated septum cause headaches or chronic fatigue?
Yes. A deviated septum restricts airflow, decreasing oxygen intake during sleep and daily activities. This often leads to poor sleep quality, chronic morning headaches, daytime fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
How is deviated septum surgery performed?
Septoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 45-60 minutes. Incisions are made inside the nose, so there are no scars on the face. Breathable silicone splints are placed at the end of surgery.
What is the recovery time after functional ENT surgery?
Most patients can return to normal daily life and work 1 week after surgery. Nasal silicone splints are usually removed after 3-5 days. Complete resolution of internal swelling takes 3-4 weeks.
Can concha hypertrophy recur?
Concha surgery usually provides permanent results, but in rare cases of severe allergic rhinitis, partial recurrence may occur after many years. Combined allergy management minimizes this risk.
