Plastic Surgery and ENT Clinic
Indications for Septoplasty
Septoplasty may be recommended for uncomfortable symptoms caused by a deviated nasal septum, including:
• Nasal septum deviation of varying severity;
• Difficulty breathing through the nose;
• Snoring;
• Frequent exacerbations of chronic ENT conditions, including maxillary sinusitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, and middle ear disorders;
• Headaches;
• Reduced ability to work;
• Obstructive sleep apnoea;
• Frequent nosebleeds;
• A feeling of breathlessness;
• Chronic fatigue;
• Chronic rhinitis;
• Severe allergic symptoms;
• Dryness of the mucous membranes.
Guidelines for Preparing for Septoplasty
Preparation for septoplasty is similar to preparation for other nasal procedures and includes the following stages:
• The patient informs the doctor about all medications they are taking;
• Two to three weeks before surgery, medications that reduce blood clotting must be discontinued;
• Fourteen days before surgery, alcohol and tobacco consumption should be reduced to a minimum or stopped completely;
• On the day before septoplasty, the patient should avoid eating dinner, remain emotionally calm, and avoid physical activity.
The outcome of the procedure and the duration of the recovery period depend, to some extent, on how carefully these recommendations are followed.
Contraindications for Septoplasty
• Blood disorders;
• Cancer;
• Diabetes mellitus;
• Chronic kidney and liver diseases;
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• Moderate or severe anaemia and leukaemia;
• Predisposition to thromboembolic conditions;
• Obesity;
• Cardiovascular disorders;
• Systemic autoimmune diseases;
• Exacerbation of chronic inflammatory conditions;
• Purulent, fungal, viral—including herpes—or inflammatory diseases of the skin and mucous membranes, as well as pressure sores;
• Unspecified neoplasms as a concurrent medical condition;
• Absence of medical clearance from a dermatovenereologist following a positive Wassermann test;
• Absence of medical clearance from an infectious disease specialist following a positive test for hepatitis or HIV;
• Acute or chronic neuropsychiatric disorders and dementia;
• Absence of medical clearance from a relevant specialist confirming the patient’s ability to undergo surgical treatment.
How Is Septoplasty Performed at Dr. Shbair’s Clinic?
Septoplasty may be performed under general anaesthesia or, less commonly, under local anaesthesia. The surgeon’s primary instrument is a piezo device. By using a piezo surgical instrument, the surgeon significantly reduces surgical trauma and the risk of bruising and swelling, thereby shortening the recovery period.
What Results Can You Expect from Septoplasty?
The procedure is performed using piezo technology, which minimises trauma to the skin and surrounding tissues. This helps prevent scars or other visible defects from developing after the recovery period.
The use of a piezo device also helps prevent injury to the nasal mucosa, allowing it to retain its normal functions after the procedure.
As a result, the patient can address their main aesthetic and physical concerns, breathe more easily, and have the position of the nasal septum corrected.

Endoscopic Septoplasty
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. Before surgery, the patient must complete the medical tests prescribed by the attending doctor.
Endoscopic septoplasty is performed through the nasal cavity using an endoscope, without making any incisions in the skin of the face.
This optical instrument, only a few millimetres in diameter, is inserted into the nasal cavity and transmits detailed images of all areas of the nasal passage, including those that are difficult to access, to a monitor.

How Do You Prepare for Plastic Surgery?
During the consultation, we discuss the patient’s expectations and goals in detail, as well as the procedure and recommendations for recovery, helping to dispel common myths about plastic surgery.
Assessing the quality and elasticity of the tissues helps the surgeon select the most suitable surgical technique, taking into account the patient’s wishes and individual anatomy.
Every patient undergoes a complete preoperative examination at our clinic, including blood and urine tests, an ECG and consultations with the necessary specialists, to ensure the safety of the procedure and achieve the best possible results.

How Is Plastic Surgery Performed at Dr. Shbair Clinic?
The duration of surgery varies from one and a half to three hours. General anaesthesia is used in most cases, although local anaesthesia may sometimes be suitable. To make scars as discreet as possible, incisions are placed in concealed areas, such as natural skin folds.
After healing, a thin white line up to 1 mm wide usually remains at the incision site. We use absorbable sutures, so patients do not need to have them removed.
Several plastic surgery procedures may be performed during the same operation at the patient’s request, when medically appropriate.

Recovery Period
Recovery after plastic surgery is an essential part of the process. We emphasise the importance of taking special care of yourself after the procedure, particularly during the first four weeks. It is important to follow all postoperative care instructions closely to return to your normal routine as soon as possible.
Patients spend the first 24 hours after surgery at the clinic under the close supervision of our medical team. Everything necessary for a comfortable recovery is provided, including attentive care, balanced meals and a pleasant environment.
To support proper healing, patients are advised to avoid saunas, swimming pools, open-water swimming and strenuous physical activity during the first month.
