Does Bruising Seen Around The Eyes After Septoplasty Operation?

Will Bruising Appear on the Face After Septoplasty?

Do not confuse the operation of the Septoplasty with the operation of the rhinoplasty 😊 Do not worry, your nasal bone will not be touched and no circumference of the face or under the eyes will be seen. Most patients can see the rhinoplasty operation of nasal septum correction surgery and nasal bones as a close process. Deviation surgery is usually done through the nostrils. Since the nasal bones are not touched, you will almost see your face at the same time after the operation. Depending on the additional volume that the silicone splints placed in the nose are usually made of your nose may look a little wider. As a result, the splints will be taken back to normal.

After open technique septoplasty, usually only nasal swelling is seen especially on nose tip. Since there is no touching on the nasal bone again, the expression between eyes does not change.

Septoplasty is performed to treat nasal obstruction in patients. After the operation of the septoplasty, the external thermoplastic splint is usually not inserted and the nasal bandage is not applied. When viewed from the outside, your nose will look a bit wider, only due to the internal silicone splints in the nose.

In order for the bruise around the eyes to appear, there must be a bone fracture in the nasal bone and the adjacent area. There is no need to worry as there is no procedure that affects the shape of the nose in classical closed technique septoplasty operations. In addition, when an open technique septoplasty operation is performed, there may be a steepening of the tip of the nose and a certain amount of shape change, but bruising around the eyes is not expected.
